Congenital epidermoid cysts are benign deformities that rarely affect the uvula. A uvular epidermoid cyst is painless and slow-growing. Most such cysts are asymptomatic and rarely cause oral dysfunction.
We present the case of a 10-month-old infant with dyspnea caused by a mass in the uvula.
The patient was diagnosed with a uvular epidermoid cyst via neck soft tissue X-ray and flexible laryngoscopy.
Emergency surgery was performed.
The patient recovered immediately after the operation and was discharged 1 day later.
In an infant with a uvula cyst, early surgical treatment may be needed to prevent symptoms, such as dyspnea, requiring emergency treatment.
先天性表皮样囊肿是一种良性畸形，很少影响悬雍垂。悬雍垂表皮样囊肿无痛且生长缓慢。大多数此类囊肿无症状，很少引起口腔功能障碍。
我们报告一例10个月大婴儿因悬雍垂肿物导致呼吸困难的病例。
通过颈部软组织X线和纤维喉镜检查，该患者被诊断为悬雍垂表皮样囊肿。
进行了急诊手术。
患者术后立即康复，1天后出院。
对于患有悬雍垂囊肿的婴儿，可能需要早期手术治疗以预防诸如呼吸困难等需要急诊治疗的症状。
