Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare genetically determined, dermatologic disease in which minor trauma causes blister formation.1 A new variant of hereditary epidermolysis bullosa, generalized atrophic benign epidermolysis bullosa, junctional form, has been recently reported.2 Airway involvement has not been a notable feature of this disease. We report the first case of an infant having benign junctional epidermolysis bullosa with laryngeal involvement. CASE REPORT An 11-month-old white boy with known junctional epidermolysis bullosa and mild stridor since birth was referred by his dermatologist for increasing stridor of 24 hours duration. He was initially thought to have croup; however, conservative treatment with mist and racemic epinephrine did not improve his symptoms.
