Résumé
In adults, vallecular cysts are usually asymptomatic but can present with respiratory and gastrointestinal manifestations. A 45-year-old man presented with a four-month progressive history of dysphonia, dysphagia to solid, snoring, choking, apnea, and aspiration. On examination, the patient was vitally stable with no remarkable local and physical examination. Flexible nasoendoscopy, computer tomography, and subsequent micro-laryngoscopy revealed a non-pulsating, non-congested 3 x 2 cm cyst obscuring vocal cord visualization. The cyst was removed completely by cold and hot techniques and was sent for biopsy. This case report presents the successful management of a symptomatic vallecular cyst through electrocautery.
