A Case of Bifid Epiglottis in an Adult

성인에서의 선천성 이열후두개 1례

Bifid epiglottis is a rare congenital laryngeal anormaly, usually associated with multiple con-genital anormalies which include digital anormalies and endocrinologic abnormalities. A notch or small indentation of the superior border of the epiglottis and, to a lesser degree, an epiglottis with a submucosal bifid appearance is a frequent occurrence. We report a 40-year-old woman with two distinct cartilaginous halves of the epiglottis, discovered incidentally during the physical examination.
