Hairy polyps are rare developmental malformations. They are benign lesions presented as a pedunculated mass that may arise from the naso-oropharyngeal region. Larger mass can cause upper respiratory obstruction causing respiratory distress or feeding difficulty, while smaller mass will present as intermittent respiratory distress due to a ball-valve type of obstruction. They are commonly seen in female, with ratio of 6:1 and majority of the cases occur in the infantile period. We are reporting a case of hairy polyp in a female infant that causing intermittent respiratory distress.
