Introduction:
Supraglottic laryngeal cysts are benign, uncommon lesions that have the potential to cause airway compromise.
Case Presentation:
We present a case of a 46-year-old Caucasian woman who was scheduled for excision of a large neck growth (saccular cyst) and was managed successfully. There was thorough consideration regarding anesthetic and surgical management. Steps taken led to a successful excision with no recurrence during follow up.
Conclusion:
This case was an opportunity to consider the challenges in the airway management associated with such cysts and provided reassurance that excision of these cysts is associated with a good post-operative outcome.
