Cysts of the larynx are uncommon lesions that on rare occasions may cause sudden death. We report herein the asphyxial death by an obstructing vocal cord cyst in a woman whose body was found in a setting that aroused suspicions of foul play. Features of this case and the autopsy findings are compared with a literature review of laryngeal cysts.
