title: Congenital laryngeal cyst: one or two cysts.
abstract: The case presented is of a neonate with extreme respiratory distress immediately after birth, caused by a large laryngeal cyst. The vertical diameter of the cyst was larger than the height of the neonatal larynx. First excision of the cyst was performed in the region of the prominent aryepiglottic fold. Three weeks later, because of a recurrence of dyspnea, excision of the prominent wall of an obstructing cystic lesion was performed in the ventriculus Morgagni.
