title: Surgical and anesthetic considerations of laryngeal saccular cyst: a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Supraglottic laryngeal cysts are benign, uncommon lesions that have the potential to cause airway compromise.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present a case of a 46-year-old Caucasian woman who was scheduled for excision of a large neck growth (saccular cyst) and was managed successfully. There was thorough consideration regarding anesthetic and surgical management. Steps taken led to a successful excision with no recurrence during follow up.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case was an opportunity to consider the challenges in the airway management associated with such cysts and provided reassurance that excision of these cysts is associated with a good post-operative outcome.
