Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) also known as Lyell’s Syndrome is a rare, acute hypersensitivity reaction characterized by cutaneous and mucosal necrosis covering more than 30% of surface [1]. Lyell’s syndrome is self limited, but potentially recurrent disease. The mortality for toxic epidermal necrolysis is approaching to 20–66% [2]. Lyell Syndrome is extremely rare diseases with an estimated overall incidence of 1–2 per 1 million inhabitants per year [3]. TEN is more common in women, it can occur at any age, whereas mostly occurs in older patients in their fifth to seventh decades. Death is caused either by sepsis or by respiratory distress which is either due to pneumoniae or damage to the linings of the airway [4]. Subglottic stenosis is the most common anomaly of larynx and trachea requiring tracheostomy in pediatric population [5]. Subglottic part of larynx is the narrowest section of laryngotracheal area of airways in childhood [5]. It is estimated that most of subglottic stenosis cases is acquired and developed as a result of injury caused by long-term use of endotracheal tube,only 5% of subglottic stenosis is congenital [6]. Latest improvements about construction of endotracheal tube and rules of procedures reduced frequency of subglottic stenosis to less than 1%. There are no statistics or medical reports about tracheal atresia caused by intubation or Lyell’s syndrome. This situation forced us to recognise Lyell’s syndrome and endotracheal intubation overlapping on each other as a cause of medical state of our 2 years old patient.
