Most clefts present within the first few months of life, with only a few cases being documented as presenting in adulthood. We present the case of a 50-year-old lady presenting with a previously undiagnosed posterior laryngeal cleft with an associated tracheoesophageal fistula. The defect was graded as 2 on the Benjamin and Inglis classification system of posterior laryngeal clefts. Following a literature review, we believe that our patient is the oldest to present with this congenital defect.
