Laryngoptosis is a rare anomaly of the larynx. The larynx is localized in a position lower than its normal position. A 15‐year‐old boy presented with hoarseness of voice. Physical examination showed that the larynx was in an abnormal position. There were no palpated tracheal rings. A low‐pitched monotonic voice was the only symptom of laryngoptosis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed that the larynx was almost localized on the manibrium sterni, and the diagnosis was laryngoptosis.
