Epiglottic cyst

An epiglottic cyst is a cyst that occurs under the epithelium of the epithelium and belongs to a special type of laryngeal cyst. Occurs in the epiglottic valley, epiglottis tongue and epiglottis. Chronic inflammation, mechanical stimulation and trauma often cause obstruction of mucus glandular ducts and retention of glandular secretions. Part of it can also be caused by congenital malformations. Adults are usually asymptomatic or have only slight pharyngeal discomfort and foreign body sensations, which are often found during laryngeal examinations. Infants and young children may show difficulty breathing, complexion, etc., and need urgent treatment. The treatment is surgical resection, and conservative medication is usually ineffective. General anesthesia is recommended for laryngoscope surgery. Take cold liquid food 1 to 2 weeks after the operation, and observe the pharyngeal bleeding closely. It is generally not easy to relapse after surgery.
