| description | Palatoglossal bands are one of the very rare congenital anomaly with very few documented cases worldwide. They can present with respiratory distress which requires immediate surgical intervention, or with feeding difficulties.

We discuss here the management of such an infant who presented at 18 months with feeding difficulties. |
