Abstract
Vocal cord cysts are rare, and typically present with symptoms of dysphonia in older children and adults. There is often a background of voice abuse. We present the first recorded and photographed case of an intracordal cyst presenting in a neonate. The patient presented with symptoms of episodic stridor, respiratory distress, and feeding difficulties, which resolved rapidly after simple incision of the cyst. Theories for the aetiology of intracordal cysts are discussed. The authors believe that this case lends support to the theory that intracordal cysts are congenital in origin.
