초록

Laryngotracheoesophageal clefts are rare congenital anmalies of the upper aerodigestive tract. They range in severity from small soft tissue defects in the interarytenoid region to complete clefts of the larynx, trachea, and esophagus. Minor clefts with mild symptoms can be managed conservatively. But, major clefts requires prompt surgical managemet fur the best result. We report a case of a 1 month old male with laryngotracheoesophageal cleft. This cleft was corrected by thoracotomy and anterior laryngofissure approach.
