True bifid epiglottis is a rare congenital laryngeal anomaly causing infant breathing and feeding issues. While often managed with observation, severe cases may necessitate surgical intervention.

Area of Science:

Laryngology
Pediatric Medicine
Medical Genetics

Background:

True bifid epiglottis is an extremely rare congenital laryngeal anomaly.
It typically manifests in neonates with symptoms like aspiration and airway obstruction.

Observation:

This case report details a patient with true bifid epiglottis.
The study reviews existing literature on this rare condition.

Findings:

Bifid epiglottis is often associated with other congenital anomalies, including polydactyly, cleft palate, and micrognathia.
Endocrine, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary abnormalities are also frequently observed in affected individuals.

Implications:

Management is usually supportive, with symptoms often improving as the child ages.
