A 14 yr-old girl with Pallister-Hall syndrome was admitted for osteotomy and fusion of the right fifth metatarsal, tenotomy of the flexor tendon, curly toe release of the right fourth toe, and removal of hardware from the left fifth metatarsal. General anesthesia was induced. During intubation using a video laryngoscope and a 6-mm cuffed endotracheal tube, a bifid epiglottis was noted (Figure).
