Abstract
Objective: To describe the diagnosis and management of a one-year-old male who presented with stridor due to a retropharyngeal neuroblastoma. Method: Retrospective case review. Results: The retropharyngeal neuroblastoma was surgically debulked in the operating room and the stridor improved significantly. The patient continues to be followed with serial MRIs and has no evidence of tumor regrowth or metastasis to this date. Conclusion: Neuroblastoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a pediatric retropharyngeal mass. If 50% of the tumor is debulked, the patient can be treated conservatively unless aerodigestive symptoms do not resolve or metastasis is present.
