Abstract:
Juvenile recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JRRP) is a rare condition. The varied presentation of this
condition predisposes to misdiagnosis and potential life-threatening airway obstruction. In this paper,
we have reported a case of JRRP presenting as severe respiratory distress and consequently mistreated
as asthmatic attack culminating in a near fatal acute airway obstruction.
