Abstract Introduction: Subglottic stenosis (SGS) can develop after intubation in children. With mild subglottic stenosis, children can be asymptomatic. Endotracheal intubation is difficult in infants with subglottic stenosis. Here is a case of subglottic stenosis in infant planned for flap wound closure managed with sedation. Case presentation: A 1 month-old infant for whom thoracolumbar myelomeningocele (MMC) was repaired during her 2nd week of life, then she developed a wound infection on the 4th postoperative day, and after 2 weeks she was scheduled for a wound closure. However, intubation was difficult and rescheduled but with the senior anesthesiologist it was not possible to intubate and after discussion with an anesthesiologist sedation and local anesthesia was used to proceed with wound closure with a flap. Conclusion sedation with local anesthesia can be used for neonates and infants with subglottic stenosis when intubation is difficult.
