Abstract

Epiglottic cyst is usually asymptomatic and the commonest presentation is foreign body sensation in the throat. Treatment of epiglottic cysts depends on their size and on the clinical symptoms. Surgery is necessary for large ones. Various modalities of therapy include endoscopic excision, marsupialization and deroofing with or without a carbon dioxide laser. We report our experience of managing a case of a large epiglottic cyst with a carbon dioxide laser.
