Descripción
Sumario:Symptomatic vallecular cyst is a rare benign lesion. These cysts are often asymptomatic in the adult. We here report 4 cases of symptomatic vallecular cyst in the adult. Three patients presented with mixed high dysphagia associated with dysphonia. The fourth patient complained of foreign body sensation in the throat. Laryngoscopy showed a cyst in left vallecular region in all cases. CT scan confirmed vallecular cyst. Treatment was based on marsupialisation of the cyst in two cases and endoscopic resection in two cases. This study suggests to clarify the diagnostic and therapeutic features of this disorder.
