Infant with sudden, large, post-extubation subglottic cyst
Background: Subglottic cyst in infancy is almost always associated with episodes of early life intubation. Most cases typically presented late, usually days to months after endotracheal extubation. We report a case of a subglottic cyst with different presentation than the norm. Case presentation:...

Most cases typically presented late, usually days to months after endotracheal extubation. We report a case of a subglottic cyst with different presentation than the norm. Case presentation: A prematurely born, four-month-old baby girl was on a ventilator via the endotracheal tube for four days after diagnosed with severe pneumoniae. She presented with stridor, two hours after airway extubation. Her conditions deteriorated, needing reintubation. However, laryngoscopy showed a large subglottic cyst totally obstructing the airway. As an attempt to intubate failed, a tracheostomy was performed and the cyst was marsupialized under general anesthesia. Conclusion: This case highlights that subglottic cyst can present acutely, and rapidly enlarging soon after the airway extubation. As the management of a large subglottic cyst can be challenging, a close observation for early diagnosis and intervention are recommended post extubation in the high-risk cases, such as in the premature infant.
