Background:

Congenital laryngeal cysts are rare, affecting approximately 1.8/100,000 newborns.
Most cysts occur in the supraglottic region, specifically the aryepiglottic fold (75%).

Observation:

Symptoms include inspiratory stridor, cyanosis, and respiratory distress due to airway blockage.
These symptoms often necessitate immediate intervention post-partum.

Findings:

A case report details a newborn with a laryngeal cyst in the right aryepiglottic fold.
The newborn required emergency intubation followed by primary puncture and secondary endoscopic cyst removal.

Implications:

Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing congenital laryngeal cysts.
Endoscopic cyst removal offers a viable treatment option for severe respiratory obstruction in neonates.
