Abstract

Vallecular cyst is known as mucous retention cyst or tongue base cyst. It can cause globus, voice change, difficulty in swallowing or respiratory distress in adults. Symptoms changes with the cyst's size. In this report, we present two cases with vallecular cyst whom we treated endoscopically and literature is reviewed.

Özet

Vallekula kisti, epiglot mukus retansiyon kisti veya dil kökü kisti olarak bilinmektedir. Erişkin hastalarda kistin büyüklüğüne göre globus, ses değişikliği, yutma güçlüğü veya solunum sıkıntısı gibi şikayetlere yol açabilir. Bu yazıda kliniğimizde endoskopik yöntemle tedavi ettiğimiz iki erişkin vallekula kisti olgusunu sunarak literatürü gözden geçirdik.
