Acute Airway Obstruction

Congenital vallecular cyst is a rare entity and may present with acute airway obstruction. This is a case of congenital vallecular cyst presenting with airway compromise requiring immediate management. The epidemiology, pathogenesis, and clinical presentation of vallecular cysts are discussed as well as the diagnosis and management.

Although nasal polyposis is a common clinical entity, there is limited literature describing the rare presentation of sudden prolapse of a massive nasal polyp resulting in an airway emergency in an adult. We present the first case report to our knowledge of a patient without any preceding sinonasal symptoms or history of anticoagulation who experienced acute upper airway obstruction due to sudden hemorrhage and prolapse of a large nasal polyp. Based on our experience treating this patient, we discuss special considerations in all phases of care to ensure safe and effective management of such an exceptional clinical scenario.

We describe a rare case of hypopharyngeal liposarcoma with an atypical presentation. The patient presented with a 3-month history of intermittent, transient acute airway obstruction. In between episodes, he was asymptomatic. A pedunculated tumour originating in the postcricoid region was seen to be suspended into the oesophagus and intermittently regurgitated into the larynx to cause airway obstruction. The lesion was endoscopically removed and examined histologically to confirm the diagnosis. On-going management of rare lesions such as this should be through multidisciplinary team meetings at a tertiary sarcoma centre.

Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is one of the the most common malignancies of childhood and can occasionally present as acute airway obstruction. We present the unusual case of a 1-year-old boy who was referred to our Paediatric Otolaryngology (ENT) clinic with a recurrent history of croup. This is the first reported case of localised ALL presenting as a subglottic mass in a paediatric patient. It highlights the need to have a broader differential diagnosis in children presenting with ‘recurrent croup’ including extramedullary presentation of leukaemia and to have a low threshold for performing endoscopy in such cases.
