Congenital laryngeal cysts are a rare cause of stridor in infants. These cysts may have serious clinical implications if not promptly recognized. A small laryngeal cyst may remain asymptomatic. However, if large, it can block the laryngeal inlet leading to acute airway obstruction, which is potentially life-threatening. In pediatric patients presenting with respiratory distress, prompt diagnosis and surgical management are crucial to avoid infant morbidity and mortality. We describe two cases of laryngeal vallecular cysts in infants and their management in our clinical practice.
先天性喉囊肿是婴儿喘鸣的罕见原因。如果不能及时识别,这些囊肿可能会产生严重的临床影响。小的喉囊肿可能无症状。然而,如果囊肿较大,它会阻塞喉入口,导致急性气道梗阻,这可能危及生命。对于出现呼吸窘迫的儿科患者,及时诊断和手术治疗对于避免婴儿发病和死亡至关重要。我们描述了两例婴儿喉会厌囊肿病例及其在我们临床实践中的处理方法。
