The Laryngoscope
|October 1, 1976
Summary
Bifid epiglottis can occur with other laryngeal anomalies like cysts or stenosis, a previously undescribed association. Extra digit occurrence is statistically significant in patients with bifid epiglottis.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Developmental Biology
- Medical Genetics
Background:
- Bifid epiglottis is a rare congenital laryngeal anomaly.
- The co-occurrence of multiple laryngeal anomalies with bifid epiglottis has not been previously documented.
- A statistically significant association between bifid epiglottis and polydactyly (extra digit) has been observed.
