This case report involves a 69-year-old woman who presented idiopathic laryngotracheal stenosis with total obstruction of the airway. Seven surgical procedures involving open field and endoscopy techniques had to be performed due to repeated re-obstructions. The novelty in this case is that success was finally obtained with the use of mitomycin C. The drug action is well known, but is interesting to report a case in which success was only obtained when we used mitomycin C.
