Abstract
Bronchogenic cysts are an uncommon congenital anomaly, usually found in the lungs or the mediastinum of a child or a young adult with progressive dysphagia or recurrent pulmonary infections. Its occurrence in the neck is rare, and its antenatal identification in that region has never been described. Here we report a case of a neonatal asphyxia requiring prompt intubation, which was found during bronchoscopy to be caused by a laryngeal cystic lesion. We discuss the steps of the patient's workup and management resulting in the resection of a laryngeal bronchogenic cyst and reconstruction of the airway. The relevant literature is reviewed.
