Introduction:Introduction: Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa (JEB) is a rare subtype of the Epidermolysis Bullosa which itself is a rare genetic disorder. While mucosal involvement of pharynx and oesophagus has been reported, laryngeal involvement is rare.Case Report:A 7-month-old male child who was known to have Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa presented to the emergency department with respiratory distress associated with a stridor which was eventfully found to have multiple level laryngeal stenosis.Conclusions:Longitudinal cohort studies are required to determine the long-term outcome and the anticipated behavior of epidermolysis bullosa in patients with laryngeal manifestation to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions.
