Abstract

A five months old male infant was presented with difficulty in breathing and stridor since birth. Chest radiography showed clear lung fields with prominent peribronchial markings. The patient underwent flexible bronchospic procedure which showed a large, anteriorly located, laringeal cystic dilatation above the vocal cords. Subsequent imaging with ultrasonography and MR confirmed the diagnosis of congenital laryngocele. His airway was secured by tracheotomy and decompression of the cyst was accomplished by needle aspiration. Congenital laryngocele is an extremely rare disorder of the larynx causing various degree of upper airway obstruction and a neck mass. The disorder may be associated with hoarseness, dysphagia, difficulty in breathing and aspiration.

Abstract

Beş aylık erkek olgu doğumdan itibaren solunum zorluğu ve stridor nedeniyle başvurdu. Akciğer grafisinde peribronşial belirginleşme dışında parankim normal bulundu. Hastaya tanısal fleksible bronkoskopi uygulandı ve ön laringeal bölgede vokal kordların üstünde büyük bir kistik dilatasyon saptandı. Akabinde yapılan ultrasonografi ve MR görüntülemesiyle konjenital laringosel tanısı kesinleştirildi. Trakeotomi ve takibinde kistik yapının iğne aspirasyonu ile boşaltılarak hava yolu stabilize edildi. Konjenital laringosel üst hava yolunda darlık ve boyunda kitle yapan çok nadir doğumsal bir anomaldir. Ses kısıklığı, yutma güçlüğü, solunum zorluğu ve aspirasyonla seyredebilir.
