Abstract
|
|
|
|
Epiglottic cysts cause stridor mimicking asthma and hinder intubation in surgery. A huge cyst can obstruct the airway, making laryngeal examinations impossible. Before surgery, complete visualization of the larynx is necessary for the successful excision of a cyst. If laryngeal examination fails, computed tomography (CT) scanning can provide detailed information. Virtual endoscopy based on CT data reconstruction can yield a detailed three-dimensional image of the larynx. Here, we report two cases of epiglottic cysts along with virtual endoscopic findings and surgical photographs.
