Although the vast majority of cases are diagnosed and managed operatively before early childhood, we report a rare case of an adult laryngeal web in a 20\u2010year\u2010old female who presented with a lifelong whisper\u2010like voice and difficulty breathing with exertion. Visualization with flexible laryngoscopy revealed a high\u2010grade CLW extending from the anterior commissure to the vocal process of the arytenoids bilaterally, resulting in limited vocal cord abduction. Despite standard recommendations for open airway surgery, the patient was selected to undergo microlaryngoscopic cold steel division of the glottic web with topical mitomycin C application to reduce scar formation and potential further voice and breathing impairment. Following a successful operation and postoperative speech therapy, the patient had markedly improved phonation and breathing. The present work is the first documented case of a high\u2010grade adult CLW managed endoscopically with cold steel lysis and mitomycin C application, demonstrating these patients may achieve significant functional improvement using this approach while avoiding the morbidity of open approaches.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.73229","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,27]],"date-time":"2026-07-27T13:53:12Z","timestamp":1785160392000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Microlaryngoscopic Management of a Congenital Laryngeal Web in a Young Adult Female"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-5830-5800","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samantha","family":"Spence","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery Saint Louis University School of Medicine  St. Louis Missouri USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Victoria","family":"Wittgen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery Saint Louis University School of Medicine  St. Louis Missouri USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Blake","family":"Sparkman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery Saint Louis University School of Medicine  St. Louis Missouri USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8994-5243","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Austin T.","family":"Armstrong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery Saint Louis University School of Medicine  St. Louis Missouri USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John F.","family":"Eisenbeis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery Saint Louis University School of Medicine  St. Louis Missouri USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s1043\u20101810(99)80017\u20107"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/00034894850940S601"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijporl.2003.09.018"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijporl.2016.04.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348940111000101"}],"container-title":["Clinical Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/ccr3.73229","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1002\/ccr3.73229","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/ccr3.73229","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,31]],"date-time":"2026-08-31T05:21:10Z","timestamp":1788153670000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/ccr3.73229"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,27]]},"references-count":5,"journal-issue":{"issue":"8","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,8]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/ccr3.73229"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/ccr3.73229","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2050-0904","2050-0904"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2050-0904","type":"print"},{"value":"2050-0904","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,27]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2026-04-23","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-07-17","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-07-27","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}],"article-number":"e73229"}}
