Abstract
This is a report of seven patients with various degrees of stridor and airway obstruction due to redundancy of the aryepiglottic folds. This condition appears to be acquired and is most likely caused by central nervous system pathology which disrupts the normal neuromuscular function of the larynx.Keywords
