Vallecular cyst as a cause of obstructive sleep apnea in an infant.

Aliva De1, Debra M Don, William Magee, Sally L Davidson Ward.   

Abstract

A 3-month-old baby was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on polysomnography (PSG) with a high apnea hypopnea index (AHI). On further investigations he was found to have a vallecular cyst that was successfully treated. We discuss the clinical presentation of vallecular cysts and the importance of polysomnography in identifying this rare condition.
