“…Differential diagnosis of a laryngeal cyst is often difficult and this may have a marked influence on the treatment strategy. Laryngeal cysts consist of three types, according to its site, content, and status of laryngeal mucosa; ductal cysts, saccular cysts, and thyroid-cartilage foramina cysts [14-16]. The most common type of laryngeal cyst is a ductal cyst.…”

Objectives A saccular cyst is defined as a dilated saccule of the larynx, filled with mucus, and is located between the false vocal cords and the thyroid cartilage. Although this uncommon laryngeal condition is benign in nature, it could lead to dyspnea, stridor, and airway obstruction, depending on its size and location. Furthermore, some saccular cysts have been associated with laryngeal carcinoma. This study aimed to characterize this rather uncommon laryngeal condition to aid in determining the proper management of this pathology. Methods Medical records were retrospectively reviewed of all patients with saccular cysts diagnosed and treated between 2006 and 2017 at a tertiary otolaryngologic care center. Results Seven patients with saccular cysts were identified (male:female=2:5; mean age, 34.1 years); two were pediatric patients. Surgical intervention was performed in all patients by laryngo-microsurgery using CO 2 laser. There was no recurrence after the initial surgical treatment. Conclusion Saccular cysts can be managed endoscopically using CO 2 laser, without requiring an external approach. Therefore, an endoscopic approach should be actively considered for an optimal treatment outcome.

BackgroundCongenital saccular cyst of the larynx is a very rare cause of respiratory obstruction in the neonatal period and in older children. It can be a potentially life-threatening condition. It can also present less dramatically later in childhood as a voice disorder. Early diagnosis and treatment are very important to avoid the high mortality associated with undiagnosed cases.Subjects and methodI report here two cases of laryngeal saccular cyst with different clinical scenarios. The first patient presented immediately after birth with respiratory problems and the second presented later at an older age. Both patients were managed with endoscopic excision.ConclusionCongenital saccular laryngeal cyst remains an important cause of respiratory obstruction in the neonate albeit being rare. It is amenable to treatment with minimally invasive procedures.

“…Its size can increase as it expands gradually and spreads through the thyrohyoid membrane into the neck, applying pressure to neighboring anatomical structures. Left undiagnosed and neglected these effects may be detrimental, leading to life-threatening acute airway obstruction [3,4]. Therefore, appropriate and meticulous anesthetic management is of utmost importance.…”

Surgical and anesthetic considerations of laryngeal saccular cyst: a case report

IntroductionSupraglottic laryngeal cysts are benign, uncommon lesions that have the potential to cause airway compromise.Case PresentationWe present a case of a 46-year-old Caucasian woman who was scheduled for excision of a large neck growth (saccular cyst) and was managed successfully. There was thorough consideration regarding anesthetic and surgical management. Steps taken led to a successful excision with no recurrence during follow up.ConclusionThis case was an opportunity to consider the challenges in the airway management associated with such cysts and provided reassurance that excision of these cysts is associated with a good post-operative outcome.
