Laryngeal cysts are cysts involving the larynx or more frequently supraglottic locations, such as epiglottis and vallecula. [1] Usually they do not extend to the thyroid cartilage. [ 2 ] They may be present congenitally [ 3 ] or may develop eventually due to degenerative cause. [ 4 ]
Voice therapy to address harmful vocal behaviours is recommended as the first treatment option. [3] Voice therapy may involve reducing tension in the larynx, reducing loudness, reducing the amount of speech produced, and modifying the environment. [18] If symptoms are significant, treatment usually involves microsurgery to remove the cyst. [3]

Signs and symptoms may include hoarseness of the voice, or a sensation of having a lump in the throat, but contact granulomas may also be without symptoms. [3] There are two common causes associated with contact granulomas; the first common cause is sustained periods of increased pressure on the vocal folds, and is commonly seen in people who ...
A common symptom of laryngeal papillomatosis is a change in voice quality. More specifically, hoarseness is observed. [4] [5] As a consequence of the narrowing of the laryngeal or tracheal parts of the airway, shortness of breath, chronic cough and stridor (i.e. noisy breathing which can sound like a whistle or a snore), can be present.
