Abstract
Vallecular cyst is a rare cause of upper airway obstruction in infants and children and presentation like acute stridor with near fatal respiratory distress is extremely rare. It is one of the rare causes of difficult intubation, during which cyst aspiration can improve the access. Vallecular cyst is commonly managed using microlaryngoscope and specialized instruments. We hereby report a method of endoscopic management of these cysts using conventional laparoscopic instruments.
