Laryngocele and epiglottic cyst as rare causes of obstructive sleep apnea.

摘要

INTRODUCTION: Upper airway pathologies have been reported to cause obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). CASE REPORT: We present two rare cases of OSA, one with laryngocele secondary to partial laryngectomy and the other with epiglottic cyst. CONCLUSION: In the management of cases with OSA symptoms, a detailed evaluation of upper airways, including endoscopic and radiological examinations as well as polysomnography, should be done.
