Laryngeal clefts are rare congenital malformations of the posterior laryngotracheal wall that lead to an abnormal communication between the airway and pharyngo-oesophageal tract. The condition is almost universally identified during infancy with minor laryngeal clefts very rarely diagnosed in adulthood. We present our tertiary centre's experience of a large laryngeal cleft presenting at an advanced age, with the aim of increasing awareness of this correctible cause of respiratory distress and aspiration in adults.
喉裂是喉气管后壁罕见的先天性畸形，可导致气道与咽食管之间出现异常通道。这种情况几乎都在婴儿期被发现，很少有轻微喉裂在成年期被诊断出来。我们介绍了我们三级中心处理一名成年期出现的大型喉裂的经验，目的是提高对这种可纠正的成人呼吸窘迫和误吸原因的认识。
