Case report highlights fatal combination of epiglottic deformity and edema in a patient with Behçet's disease.
We report the case of a 36-year-old male patient with an 18-year history of Behçet's disease who was referred to our department in October 2025 for dyspnea and dysphagia. Flexible laryngoscopy revealed a partial epiglottic defect with supraglottic mucosal hyperplasia and edema. Microlaryngoscopic carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser surgery of the larynx was performed, with dyspnea disappearing after the operation. No recurrence of dyspnea was observed during the 3-month follow-up.
