Introduction: Supraglottic laryngeal cysts are benign, uncommon lesions that have the potential to cause airway compromise.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a 46-year-old Caucasian woman who was scheduled for excision of a large neck growth (saccular cyst) and was managed successfully. There was thorough consideration regarding anesthetic and surgical management. Steps taken led to a successful excision with no recurrence during follow up.
Conclusion: This case was an opportunity to consider the challenges in the airway management associated with such cysts and provided reassurance that excision of these cysts is associated with a good post-operative outcome.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of two treatments for isolated unruptured splenic artery aneurysms in 208 patients over a period from 2016 to 2022.
- Both sac embolisation (SE) and isolation technique (IT) had a 100% technical success rate, with no SAA ruptures or patient deaths during median follow-up; however, IT showed lower total hospital costs while having higher splenic infarction rates.
- The conclusion suggested that while both methods are safe and effective, SE may be better for smaller aneurysms due to lower splenic infarction rates, whereas IT could be preferred for larger aneurysms due to reduced hospital costs.
Congenital saccular cyst of the larynx: a rare cause of stridor in a newborn infant.

Congenital saccular cyst of the larynx is a rare cause of presentation of stridor and respiratory distress in newborns. The clinical presentation of a saccular laryngeal cyst often overlaps with other common causes of stridor, such as laryngomalacia, presenting a diagnostic dilemma for clinicians. We present a case of a term newborn infant referred for evaluation of inspiratory stridor since birth.
