Clinical presentation Individuals with laryngeal lymphangioma may be asymptomatic or may present with significant airway obstruction when the lesions attain a large size. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  Other problems that affect the throat include Tonsillitis - inflammation of the tonsils Cancer Croup - inflammation, usually in small children, which causes a barking cough Laryngitis - swelling of the voice box, which can cause a hoarse voice or loss [icdlist.com]

  In a small number of patients, the saccular swelling may cause an external neck mass. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  Because the inelastic cricoid cartilage allows only the inward swelling of tissues, tracheotomy may be needed. [virtualpediatrichospital.org]

  In more extreme cases of CHAOS where the lung swelling endangers the heart function, surgery before birth may be a treatment option. [fetus.ucsf.edu]
