  • Title: Adult floppy epiglottis: a simple surgical remedy.
    Author: Harries PG, Randall CJ.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 1995 Sep; 109(9):871-2. PubMed ID: 7494124.
    Abstract:
    Epiglottic prolapse during inspiration is an unusual cause of upper airway obstruction. We present a case of a previously fit, 73-year-old, male with upper airway obstruction secondary to a floppy epiglottis. We describe a simple method of treatment without the need for partial or total excision of the epiglottis or tracheostomy.
