Summary
Among the benign lesions in the larynx and laryngopharynx, cystic lesions are common entities. Vallecular cysts are usually retention cysts of the minor salivary glands. An innovative method of surgical treatment of one such case is presented here. A 47 year old man presented with difficulty in swallowing for the last 8 months for solid and liquid foods, h/o change in voice for the last 6 months. Preliminary examination and indirect laryngoscopy revealed 3cm x 4cm swelling in the region of left half of vallecula. Tracheostomy of patient was done and general anesthesia was given through it. Direct laryngoscopy was done in morning sniffing position which showed the cystic mass arising from the vallecula. Keeping in mind the conventional modalities of treatment like marsupialisation, deroofing etc. We decided to remove vallecular cyst by snaring Keeping in mind the conventional modalities of treatment like marsupialisation, deroofing etc. we decided to remove vallecular cyst by snaring
