Trifid Epiglottis with Midline Cleft Lip: A Rare Craniofacial Anomaly-First Case Report

Congenital anomalies involving the epiglottis are an uncommon occurrence and are seldom reported as isolated anomalies. Bifid epiglottis, by itself, is also a rare occurrence. Trifid epiglottis has only been reported once in literature to the best of our knowledge. Epiglottic anomalies are observed commonly as part of a syndrome or a sequence, mostly in association with facial dysmorphic features, cleft lip and palate, polydactyly, and skeletal abnormalities among others. We report to you the case of a 10 year-old child having a triad of clinical features consisting of a trifid epiglottis, and a median cleft lip with associated polydactyly.
