DOI: https://doi.org/Introduction: Laryngeal cysts comprise approximately 5-10% of noncancerous laryngeal abnormalities. Lateral saccular cysts are rare and pose a diagnostic challenge and appropriate selection of treatment modality is essential for improving patient outcomes and decreasing hospital stays. This case report describes successful management of saccular cysts via endoscope guided direct laryngoscopy and excision via a transoral approach.
Case report: A 54year-old male patient reported hoarseness of voice, persistent foreign body sensation in the throat and dysphagia for the past 2 months. Video laryngoscopy, Ultrasonography and neck contrast enhanced CT revealed two synchronous existing laryngeal cysts that did not communicate with each other. The patient was then successfully managed by excision of the cyst via endoscope guided direct laryngoscopy via a transoral approach which improved patient outcomes and had no reccurance.
Conclusion: Laryngeal cysts, although rare, are clinically important because they present diagnostic challenges and may pose life-threatening risks, such as breathing difficulties resulting from airway obstruction.The external approach might be limited to treating large recurrent cysts. Small lateral saccular cysts can be managed successfully by endoscope-assisted laryngeal microsurgery through a transoral approach without any reccurance.
