Cysts of the infant larynx.
We report the largest single-centre series in the literature of laryngeal cysts in infants. Most of these children presented with stridor within the first two weeks of life, and were found to have a supraglottic or vallecular cyst. Early endoscopic de-roofing of the cyst is the recommended form of treatment.
