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]

Two patients presented with feeding problems and one patient presented with hoarseness and silent weeping. In all twelve cases, the diagnosis of laryngeal cyst was confirmed by direct laryngoscopy. [czytelniamedyczna.pl]

The presentation of basic science underlying clinical otorhinolaryngology has been expanded and chapters on clinical topics are structured to provide comprehensive coverage for the clinicians. [books.google.com]

• Regurgitation

  Other symptoms include respiratory distress (58%), dyspnea (55%), feeding difficulties (secondary to respiratory distress and effort required during feeding) (33-50%) characterized by apnea, cyanotic episodes, choking and regurgitation of feeds, sleep [thecardiologyadvisor.com]

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]

This underlines the importance of a swift, correct diagnosis and a proper treatment. [omicsonline.org]

Its definitive treatment is surgical according to the literature. [revistas.unal.edu.co]

Endoscopic treatment is a safe and effective primary treatment for most laryngeal cysts in children. 2. An external approach is reserved for those cases in which endoscopic treatment is hindered due to deep and extensive cysts. 3. [czytelniamedyczna.pl]

CT Well-defined, fluid-attenuation, non-enhancing rounded lesion MRI Well-defined, fluid signal intensity, non-enhancing rounded lesion Treatment and prognosis Different forms of treatment have been described for laryngeal cysts, such as aspiration, marsupialisation [radiopaedia.org]

The prognosis and outcome is usually excellent and we will not advocate postoperative CT/MRI or an endoscopy control at this stage, if the infant is thriving and shows a normal development. “The proof of the pudding is in the eating!” [omicsonline.org]

The prognosis for individuals with this disorder is poor. [emedicine.medscape.com]

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]

Congenital Laryngeal Webs Epidemiology Laryngeal webs are rare congenital anomalies of the larynx. [emedicine.medscape.com]

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]

Use of CO 2 laser is justified as it facilitates removal of the cyst, prevents edema, and recurrence. [laryngologyandvoice.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]
