The subglottic space is a region of the airway that is not well defined anatomically, extending in its widest definition from the vocal cord down to the smallest bronchi. In this paper the term is used to mean only as the spatium subglotticum, the space enclosed ventrally and laterally by the elastic cone, which bears the cricoid plate in its posterior wall and which then without a break becomes the cervical trachea at the caudal end of the cricoid cartilage.
