title: [Dorsal cleft larynx].
abstract: Until now there have been isolated reports on cleft larynx in American journals only. The cleft, which is hidden behind mucous membrane humps on the posterior larynx wall can evade diagnosis for a considerable time. Basing on a thorough examination (endoscopy, computed tomography), a case history, characterised by repeated aspiration pneumonia, and the surgical treatment of this extremely rare malformation are described.
