AN UNUSUAL CAUSE OF SNORING – EPIGLOTTIC CYST

Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 4

Abstract

Symptoms like snoring and chronic nagging cough lasting for several weeks are common presentations in every outpatient department. Both can have multiple probable causes. These are often taken lightly and the cause is misdiagnosed. Here we present to you one such patient with chronic cough and snoring where the underlying cause was an Epiglottic cyst. Hence, a thorough evaluation to rule out all possible causes including a detailed otorhinolaryngological examination is the dictum for all cases with such symptoms.
