Here, we present an interesting clinical case. We also concisely reviewed the literature on the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, classification, and therapy for laryngeal cysts.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This is a rare condition in newborns that must be considered in infants presenting with stridor, tachypnea, and difficulty with breastfeeding. About 50% of cases are asymptomatic, but it can present as acute respiratory distress at birth.[arquivosdeorl.org.br]

Surgicalprocedures for congenital laryngeal cysts include endoscopic excision, deroofing, laryngofissure and lateral pharyngotomy. 7 Marsupialization is a definitive procedure for epiglottic cysts and may be performed with carbon dioxide laser, electrocautery[nature.com]
Some of the surgicalprocedures we offer include: Vocal cord injection, a procedure done under anesthesia that involves injecting a substance into the vocal cord to help it approximate to the opposite side.[mottchildren.org]
Having secured the airway with orotracheal intubation, the surgicalprocedure consisted of an incision in the cyst lining with CO 2 laser, dissection to its base in the orifice of the saccule using microforceps and subsequent removal of the saccule.[elsevier.es]

They often cause chronic hoarseness and severe stridor. Case reports of congenital laryngeal cyst complicated with pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum are very rare.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A change in head position can modify the stridor pattern, and this may be a diagnostic clue. Early stridor detection is essential, and the clinical evaluation with endoscopy is the main investigational approach. Surgical treatment is performed.[arquivosdeorl.org.br]

When it occurs in neonates and is associated with respiratorydistress, it must be treated urgently.[revistas.unal.edu.co]
CT or MRI may be difficult and even hazardous due to the respiratorydistress and in our case the quality of the scan was too poor to be of any value.[omicsonline.org]
The leading symptoms, inspiratoric stridor, cyanosis, and jugular and epigastric retractions, are caused by blockage of the airway.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The symptoms which also may include hoarseness, cyanosis and feeding problems, usually appear the first day, but may be delayed up to several weeks or even years [ 3 ]. The upper airway obstruction caused by the cyst can be potentially lethal.[omicsonline.org]
Apart from acute life threatening airway obstruction, presenting symptoms include stridor, feeding problems, chest retractions, apnea, cyanosis, failure to thrive and hoarse cry.[nature.com]
At one week of age the child had inspiratory stridor that was worse with feeding and caused some cyanosis, which abated with cessation of the feeds.[thejhs.org]
Case Presentation Full-term newborn patient with adequate weight for gestational age, delivered via cesareansection and with polyhydramnios and APGAR 10/10.[revistas.unal.edu.co]
Nevertheless, delayed diagnosis and treatment can cause life-threatening airway obstruction. Even though the diagnosis is easily made by careful inspection, treatment results often in recurrence.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology Although there is no consensus as to the etiology of laryngomalacia, several theories have been proposed.[entokey.com]
A less common etiology of stridor and respiratory distress in newborns and infants is congenital laryngeal saccular cyst. This entity should be considered in the differential diagnosis of stridor.[semanticscholar.org]

Epidemiology [ edit ] Congenital cysts of the larynx with incidence of about 1.8 in 100,000 newborns. [1] Laryngeal cysts form 4% of all laryngeal tumors [6] or about 5% of benign laryngeal lesions. [10] Prevalence is about equal between the sexes. [11[en.wikipedia.org]

To prevent future infections, doctors usually recommend surgery to remove the cyst. A surgeon will usually perform the surgery on an outpatient basis. This means your child can go home the same day. Your child will also be under general anesthesia.[healthline.com]
Supportive measures are also necessary for the patient with bilateral vocal fold paralysis to ensure that adequate nutrition is received while preventing aspiration.[emedicine.medscape.com]
