“…Saccular cysts arise from the saccule and extend to the ventricle. Ductal cysts are the most common form of laryngeal cysts, comprising 75% of cases [ 5 ]. VCs are generally seen on the lingual surface of the epiglottis [ 6 ].…”

Background. Cysts in the larynx are rare and generally asymptomatic. However, large cysts in adults can be symptomatic. If they are symptomatic, they typically present with respiratory and feeding difficulties. They are usually benign in terms of pathology. Several surgical techniques may be used for treatment. Case Report. A 56-year-old man presented to our clinic with hoarseness. Routine laryngeal examination revealed a giant mass and the larynx could not be visualized. At magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a cystic mass originating from the vallecula was detected. There was no pathology at the glottic level. We planned tracheotomy for the airway and endoscopic surgery for excision. The mass was excised using CO2 laser and was reported as benign. Conclusion. An asymptomatic vallecular cyst may cause difficult intubation in any operation. It may also cause respiratory or other complications. Airway management should be led by an ear, nose, and throat surgeon, since tracheotomy may be required. Endoscopic excision with CO2 laser is a good choice for treatment in elective cases. In this report, we discuss the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with an asymptomatic giant vallecular cyst.

“…Aspiration of the cyst, rigid bronchoscope, stylet, bougie, trans-tracheal jet ventilation and Mc-coy laryngoscope have been used for airway management in vallecular cyst. [ 2 ],[ 3 ] In diagnosed cases, awake fibreoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) guided intubation is the ideal method to secure airway. We highlight here the significance of position during awake FOB in a patient with a large vallecular cyst.…”
