Cotton-Myer classification for subglottic stenosis[1] | Freitag classification[2] | Simple versus complex[3] |

Additional notes: This classification is simple and easy to use. Limitations include: does not describe subtle dimensional changes, ignores the fact that most stenoses are not perfectly oval or circular, and does not accurately describe multiple sites of airway disease. | Additional notes: This classification is simple, reproducible between centers, and places stenoses into a finite number of categories that can be more easily collated. Limitations include: does not describe subtle dimensional changes, ignores the fact that most stenoses are not perfectly oval or circular, and does not accurately describe multiple sites of airway disease. | Additional notes: This classification provides useful descriptors that assist with therapeutic decisions. |
