Central airway stenosis is extremely rare in pregnancy and could lead to respiratory and cardiovascular embarrassment, especially at the time of delivery. Initially, patients may not show obvious signs of respiratory difficulty. Early recognition of the disease and anticipatory management of a complicated delivery are very important. We present a pregnant patient with tuberculosis-induced severe tracheobronchial stenosis and discuss the management challenges of her delivery.
