Abstract:

 

Cysts in the larynx are not uncommon and assume importance due to their potential to compromise the airway. A series of three cases of laryngeal cysts is presented. Voice, swallowing, and breathing are the prime functions served by the upper aerodigestive tract, and the three cases presented here illustrate how each of these functions can be interfered with by the development of laryngeal cysts. Despite the presence of overlapping symptoms, there were only subtle symptoms at the onset such as globus sensation  case 1 , worsening asthma  case 2 , and vocal fatigue  case 3 . This case series highlights the importance of understanding these subtle symp toms and the need for a thorough search for these benign but offending laryngeal cysts.

 

Larenks kistleri sık görülürler ve hava yolunu tehlike- ye sokabilme özellikle yönünden önem taflırlar. Ko- nuflma, yutma ve solunum, üst aerodigestif sistem tarafından sağlanan temel fonksiyonlardandır. Bu yazıda, larenks kisti saptanan üç farklı olguda bu fonksiyonların ayrı ayrı nasıl etkilendiği sunuldu; bu olgularda çakıflan bulgular da vardı. Bafllangıç su- numları olarak tüm olgularda yanıltıcı bulgulara rast- landı; boğazda yabancı cisim duyusu  olgu 1 , ağır- laflan astım tablosu  olgu 2  ve seste güç kaybı  ol- gu 3 . Sunulan olgular aracılığıyla, bafllangıç semp- tomlarının yanıltıcı nitelikleri vurgulandı; özellikleri açısından benign olan, ancak etkileri nedeniyle tanı ve tedavide sorunlara yol açabilen larenks kistlerine karflı daha uyanık olunması gerektiği gösterildi.
