Isolated agenesis of epiglottis is extremely rare. The exact inci dence is unknown. Anecdotal presentations associated with Pierre Robbin syndrome maxillary hypoplasia have been reported. Age nesis of epiglottis has also been published in an adult. Iso lated agenesis of epiglottis with acute life-threatening event (ALTE) has not been specifically dealt with in the literature. Hence, this is the report of six contiguous cohort of isolated agenesis of epiglottis with ALTE. Materials and methods:After the first case of isolated agenesis of epiglottis was diagnosed 2 years ago, five more such cases were treated by the group. These formed the index cases of the cohort.Decision for surgery was based on an arbitrary 3 ALTEs in 24 hours. All the patients were initially intubated. Supraglottic space was closed using interrupted unabsorbable sutures. Tracheostomy was added. At 3 to 6 months of follow-up, glottis was restored by Nd-YAG laser knife. Five out of six children are alive and thriving well. One child died before he could be actively managed. Conclusion:Isolated agenesis of epiglottis with ALTE is extremely rare. Supraglottic closure saves lives and gives enough time for pharyngoesophageal coordination to develop.

“…The primitive epiglottis is first seen around day 15. The hyobranchial eminence is purported as being the chief precursor of the epiglottis as well; however some controversy exists as to whether it is the sole anlage or not [3]. Regardless of the controversy, the hyobranchial eminence appears to play an important role in both the lingual tonsils and epiglottis.…”
