Aplasia of the epiglottis is a rare laryngeal anomaly. We present a case of absence of the epiglottis in a child whose clinical course has been followed for nine years. She required a tracheostomy at two years of age for obstructive sleep apnea which resulted in heart failure; she was eventually decannulated at age seven. This case report highlights the clinical challenges faced in the identification and treatment of the sequelae of this defect. Both endoscopic and computed tomography (CT) documentation are provided. Embryological development and a review of the literature are also discussed.

Between 1984 and 1988, a resurgence of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) was reported in several pediatric centers.1-3 During the same time, pediatric cases,4-6 and, recently, adult cases6 of poststreptococcal reactive arthritis (PSRA) have been reported. Although several of these patients had or developed multisystemic manifestations,4,5 none of these cases fully adhered to the guidelines of the revised Jones criteria.7 Thus, these individuals were given the diagnosis of PSRA or poststreptococcal rheumatic syndrome (PSRS) rather than ARF.4-6,8-10 One of the leading causes of acquired pediatric heart disease in North America is carditis of ARF,3 and severe cases can result in congestive heart failure, the need for valve replacement, or death.11
