Abstract
A laryngeal cyst is usually benign. The most common site origin of a cyst in the larynx is the lingual surface of the epiglottis. Epiglottic cysts are rare. Usually, it is asymptomatic in patients and can be treated conservatively if the size is small. Airway obstruction is very rare but could be life-threatening. If there is airway obstruction, the cyst should be removed immediately. Early detection and immediate management lead to favorable outcomes. A multidisciplinary-team approach with the ENT and anesthetic inputs are essential when dealing with the current condition. This case report highlights the management of such a patient who presented with airway obstruction due to an epiglottic cyst.
