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.
Congenital laryngeal cysts are very rare and if mismanaged, lead to a high incidence of morbidity and mortality. The case may present as severe stridor and emergent management can obviate a tracheostomy, achieving cure in the process. We report here a case of supraglottic cyst, which was completely occluding the airway and was managed in the emergency setting.
Epithelial inclusion cyst is an under recognized complication of the in-situ advancing vaginal wall sling. A 63-year-old woman with stage I pelvic organ prolapse and mixed incontinence underwent in-situ sling placement in November 1997. In February 1998 she presented with a painful recurrent inflammatory anterior vaginal wall mass. The mass was cystic and drained spontaneously four times over the period of conservative management. The patient underwent resection of a clinical and pathological vaginal epithelial inclusion cyst in September 1998. At 6-month follow-up the patient remains continent and the cyst has not reformed. The vaginal surgeon should be aware of the potential for epithelial inclusion cyst formation after in-situ sling placement, and actively search for them at postoperative examination.
