A vallecular cyst is rare and benign lesion, it is more frequent in supraglottic locations, such as epiglottis and vallecula. The symptoms of a vallecular cyst include voice changes, dysphagia, stridor and shortness of breath. Vallecular cysts can be diagnosed by using plain radiography, computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, MRI scan proves superior and is highly recommended to diagnose and to obtain thorough information regarding the relationship of the cyst to the surrounding anatomical structures and it helps to determine the further course of treatment. We discuss here the clinical presentation, radiographic findings and various treatment options for vallecular cyst.
