We describe an infant with recurrent wheezing and cough caused by an oropharyngeal cyst. Mucosal oropharyngeal cysts arise from obstruction or traumatic severance of a duct in a minor salivary gland, which leads to retention of mucous secretion . The mucosal cyst of the oropharynx is a rare cause of respiratory distress in the infants. The clinical symptoms depend on the size, shape, and location of the cyst.
我们描述了一名因口咽囊肿导致反复喘息和咳嗽的婴儿。口咽黏膜囊肿起因于小唾液腺导管阻塞或外伤性离断，进而导致黏液分泌物潴留。口咽黏膜囊肿是婴儿呼吸窘迫的罕见原因。临床症状取决于囊肿的大小、形状和位置。
