%X Benign laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) is a
debilitating and potentially life-threatening condition that is commonly caused by iatrogenic events as a
result of endotracheal intubation or tracheostomy. Numerous cases are being
published for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who end up with
severe LTS after prolonged intubation or tracheostomy. Here, we presented two
cases of LTS due to prolonged intubation after severe COVID-19 pneumonia. The
characteristic </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">of</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> these two cases is that both of them needed second
time intubation and were readmitted because of severe dyspnoea and all the
workup for post</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">-</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">COVID-19 complications were investigated except the LTS which was later
diagnosed after one month of suffering of these patients.</span>
