  • Title: Bifid epiglottis: a case report.
    Author: Prescott CA.
    Journal: Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol; 1994 Aug; 30(2):167-70. PubMed ID: 8063503.
    Abstract:
    Bifid epiglottis is a rare congenital laryngeal anomaly, usually associated with multiple congenital anomalies which include digital anomalies and hypothalamic pituitary dysfunction manifesting as growth retardation. A case is presented of a 2-year-old child with this picture in whom the bifid epiglottis prolapsed over the laryngeal inlet to cause inspiratory airway obstruction. Corrective surgery was not successful and eventually a partial epiglottectomy was required.
