Abstract

We report a case of a 22-year-old male with Hunter syndrome who developed progressive major airway obstruction and was treated with insertion of plastic and metallic stents. with dramatic improvement in the patient's symptomatic and functional status. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of endoluminal stents being used in the management of major airway obstruction in a patient with Hunter syndrome.
