ABSTRACT
A female with autism, aged over 40 years, who had been hospitalized in a nursing home, developed descending necrotizing mediastinitis requiring tracheostomy. Subsequently, tracheal stenosis was observed. She was referred to our hospital. T-tube therapy was selected, and there has been no recurrence during the 3-year follow-up. We report a patient in whom a T-tube was useful for treating benign tracheal stenosis in the presence of autism.
