Early diagnosis of acute epiglottitis may be difficult in the child presenting atypically. The cases of four patients who displayed atypical presentation are reported. The initial diagnosis in three children was croup and in one, pharyngitis. In the fourth patient, a child who had coexisting meningitis, epiglottitis was an incidental finding. All patients recovered with no sequelae.
