Abstract

Congenital epiglottic cyst is rare cause of stridor in neonate and if managed inadequately, disaster such as death can occur. Diagnosis of congenital epiglottic cyst includes imaging studies and endoscopy. Fiberoptic or rigid endoscopic examination excludes other causes of stridor in neonate. Complete excision of cyst is treatment of choice under suspension laryngoscopic guidance. Here, we report a case of congenital epiglottic cyst and concomitant laryngomalacia presenting with seizure and respiratory difficulty in neonate with a review of literature.
