title: Laryngeal schwannoma in an 8-year-old boy with inspiratory dyspnea.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Schwannomas of the larynx are rare lesions in the pediatric age group.
  
  
  METHODS
  In this article, we report on the neuroimaging features of a schwannoma arising from the left aryepiglottic fold in an 8-year-old boy with a 6-month history of inspiratory dyspnea.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Neuroimaging showed a well-defined, avoid mass originating from the left aryepiglottic fold. The lesion was removed endoscopically.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Complete removal of laryngeal schwannomas is curative, and adjuvant treatment is not required.
