Abstract
In conclusion, vallecular cysts can cause extreme problems in securing the airway. It is important to avoid complications associated with repeated attempts at intubation, airway loss, or cyst rupture causing difficulty visualizing vocal cords and aspiration. The use of King Vision® videolaryngoscope is a good alternative in these cases. Close attention to logistics and the immediate availability of an otolaryngologist is vital.
