“…Histologically, the cyst contains respiratory epithelium with mucus glands and an external lining of squamous epithelium, as was shown in our case. 4,9,10 We report a rare case of the giant congenital epiglottic cyst without laryngomalacia, which led to respiratory distress and difficulty of intubation at birth. We propose a flexible nasolaryngoscopic examination in all cases of infant stridor for early identification of CLC.…”

Congenital laryngeal cysts (CLCs) are rare and may be fatal. Although CLCs have the potential to cause severe airway obstruction and death, these are not common presentations at birth. The most common CLCs are the aryepiglottic cysts, with the epiglottic cysts being the least common. In this report, a newborn with severe airway obstruction at birth, caused by a giant congenital epiglottic cyst, is presented.

“…Los quistes valleculares aunque raros, deben ser considerados en el diagnóstico diferencial de un estridor neonatal y podrían ser la causa de una muerte súbita infantil [7][8] . En los adultos suelen ser asintomáticos o provocar síntomas inespecíficos, como disfonía, globo faríngeo o disfagia 9 .…”

“…Stridor is the most common encountered symptom (4). Symptoms of VC usually begin to appear at birth or in the first few weeks of life (5,6). Congenital laryngeal cysts are estimated at 1.87-3.49 cases per 100,000 live births, of which about 10.5% constitute VC (7)(8)(9).…”

Konjenital vallekula kisti (VK) yenidoğanlarda ve bebeklerde nadir görülen ancak potansiyel olarak ölümcül bir patolojidir. Genellikle doğumdan kısa bir süre sonra ortaya çıkan stridor, apne ve siyanoz gibi semptomlarla kendini gösterir. Stridor en sık karşılaşılan semptomdur. VK'ye sıklıkla laringomalazi (LM) eşlik eder ve LM, bebeklerde en sık görülen stridor nedenidir. Teşhis fleksible laringoskopi veya bronkoskopi ile yapılabilir. Cerrahi, VC tedavisinin temelini oluşturur. Burada solunum sıkıntısı olan, beslenme ve ağlama sırasında bifazik stridor ve siyanozu kötüleşen ve VK tanısı konan bir süt çocuğu sunulmuştur. Cerrahi rezeksiyon sonrası hastanın solunum semptomları hızla düzelmiştir.
