Congenital Laryngeal Cyst

Larynx Anomaly

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]

  • Crying

    A 3,112 g full-term male newborn developed stridor which got worse during crying for 12 h after birth. Chest retractions were present with inspiration. Chest X-rays showed the presence of right pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    […] low-pitched cry, especially with changes of position or agitation. [revistas.unal.edu.co]

    What causes abnormal cry in newborns? An abnormal cry in newborns has many possible causes. They can be broadly grouped into congenital or neurologic causes. [voicefoundation.org]

    Phonation & cry are normal. [slideplayer.com]

  • Stridor

    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]

    Keywords Congenital malformation; Stridor; Pediatric airway; Laser surgery; Laryngeal cyst Introduction Laryngomalacia is the most common cause of stridor in the newborn, accounting for 75% of the cases [ 1 ]. [omicsonline.org]

  • Cyanosis

    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]

    Signs of airway resistance: nasal flaring, intercostal / subcostal / supraclavicular recession, cyanosis 75 Physical Examination 3. Associated fever: inflammatory cause 4. [slideplayer.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]

    Respiratory distress, failure to thrive and cyanosis are rare. Oxygen saturation should be monitored. [patient.info]

  • Tremor

    Hypocalcemia may rarely cause laryngospasm and stridor. 9 Other features include irritability, tremors, twitchings and carpopedal spasm. Psychogenic Stridor. [aafp.org]

  • Cesarean Section

    Case Presentation Full-term newborn patient with adequate weight for gestational age, delivered via cesarean section 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]

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]

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]

Vishal Sharma 2 Epidemiology 80 – 85 % children 3 yrs with stridor have congenital etiology for stridor 60 % of these anomalies are in larynx 20-25 % are anomalies of trachea bronchi 45% patients have more than 1 anomalies 3 Etiology Supraglottis: Laryngomalacia [slideplayer.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]

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]
