Abstract
- Epiglottic cyst are relatively uncommon and account for about five percent of benign laryngeal lesions. The most common location is the epiglottis. We experienced two cases of congenital epiglottic cysts, one in an infant who showed dyspnea at birth and was incubated and the other in a 1-month-old infant with increasing stridor during the first month of life. In both cases, each cysts were completely removed under suspension laryngoscopy under general anesthesia with satisfactory results. We reviewed the clinical characteristics, diagnostic modalities, treatments, and prognosis of the epiglottic cyst.
