Abstract
As healthcare provider and parental awareness of swallowing dysfunction has increased over the past several years, the identification of laryngeal cleft (LC) anomalies has also increased. Previously, the incidence of laryngeal cleft was estimated to be 1:10,000–1:20,000 patients, but it is now estimated that laryngeal clefts are present in 5–7.6% of patients with chronic aspiration/penetration with swallowing [1, 2]. With this new mindfulness, treatment options have increased to benefit patients with these anomalies.
