Abstract
Laryngeal webs are abnormal formation of an epithelium-covered fibrous tissue between two structures within the larynx (Pegg et al. in Ear Nose Throat J 90(10):486-488, 2011). Most of the laryngeal webs occurs at the level of glottic region which may extend till anterior 1/3rd of vocal cords, but it can also extend in to posterior glottis and inferiorly till subglottic region (Singh in J Indian Assoc Pediatr Surg 14(3):108-109, 2009). Acquired laryngeal webs are more common than congenital laryngeal web. Idiopathic supraglottic web is a rare entity and only one case have been reported worldwide (Table 1). We report a case of an idiopathic acquired supraglottic web in a 27-year-old man. The web was managed with CO2 laser excision under micro laryngoscopy guidance.
