“…The patients were born with laryngeal stridor and inspiratory dyspnea, smooth-surfaced cystic mass on the epiglottic vallecula by direct laryngoscopy. Cervical region lateral X-ray, ultrasound computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging may all be useful for estimating the size and location of the cyst [5][6][7]. Detailed physical examinations, including close observation of breathing patterns, may indicate upper-airway obstruction.…”

(6) This condition is often misdiagnosed as laryngomalacia, asthma, croup, or other diseases, due to the fact that it manifests as recurring respiratory infections, stridor, and wheezing. Death can occur in severe cases that are not treated.…”
