Case description

Defect involving the left side of the epiglottis (circle) is shown in this video. It is caused by deep excision of an epiglottic cyst pedicle. Ossification of hyaline cartilages never happens but it could be deformed as a complication of granulomatuous infection, perichondritis, iatrogenic from surgery e.g, limited excision of a benign tumour etc.
