Abstract: Post - tubercular endobronchial stenosis is one of the important complications of Pulmonary Tuberculosis. The prevalence of tuberculosis - induced endobronchial stenosis varies and is estimated to be as high as 10% to 40% in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. It is usually under - diagnosed or misdiagnosed due to nonspecific presentation and insensitive diagnostic methods. This article reports a case of a 17 year old male patient presenting with complaints of Fever on & off, worsening cough with expectoration, loss of appetite & loss of weight since 1 month. The patient was diagnosed to have endobronchial stenosis based on bronchoscopy. He was subsequently treated with Electrocautery & CRE Balloon Dilatation of the bronchial stenosis.
