“…The major differential diagnosis of congenital stridor includes laryngomalacia, subglottic stenosis and vocal fold paralysis; 24,25 in such cases, the incidence of vallecular cyst is only 0.9-2.0 per cent. 24,25 Vallecular cyst carries the risk of sudden airway obstruction and death, because of the anatomical location of the cyst and the small respiratory tract in infants. 6 Therefore, all otolaryngologists should consider this uncommon condition in the differential diagnosis of congenital stridor in infants.…”

Magnetic resonance imaging presents various difficulties in infants, but has the best diagnostic effectiveness. We recommend the use of magnetic resonance imaging, flexible fibroscopy and ultrasonography to enable extensive examination of suspected vallecular cysts in infants. Marsupialisation has a recurrence rate of only one in 39 cases, and its safety and effectiveness are well balanced. Thus, prompt marsupialisation of vallecular cyst is the recommended surgical procedure.
