Background and Objectives: Vallecular cysts are rare and generally asymptomatic. In infants and children they present with stridor, feeding difficulties, failure to thrive. Treatment is surgical excision with cautery or laser.Presentation of Case: We discuss the clinical, radiological presentation of a 7 months old child with vallecular cyst which was surgically treated with deroofing and marsupialisation with elecrocautery. There was no recurrence even up 2 years of follow-up.Discussion: Flexible nasopharyngolaryngoscopic examination was done which showed present of swelling in the left vallecula pushing the epiglottis posteriorly and to the right with narrowed normal endolarynx. Radiological investigations with CT scan showed cystic lesion noted in left side of neck with no septation and solid component. The lesion was extending to ipsilateral vallecula and paraglottic region with narrowing of endolarynx.Conclusion: Vallecular cyst is rare cause of noisy breathing in infants and children. In adults it is usually asymptomatic. Treatment of choice is marsupialization with electrocautery or laser.

In Infants And Children

The clinical features of abnormal gastroesophageal reflux in infants and children extend beyond repeated vomiting and include dysphagia, pain, bleeding, failure to thrive, esophageal stricture, and recurrent respiratory symptoms including aspiration pneumonitis and cyanotic attacks. The unreliability of the traditional barium swallow examination as a diagnostic test is well known. This study reports the results of endoscopic assessment and esophageal biopsy in 100 infants and children and relates them to the clinical findings and the changes in the contrast esophagogram. The results show that further valuable diagnostic information can be gained from endoscopic examination of the esophageal mucosa, especially when there is esophagitis with ulceration, bleeding, or stricture. Endoscopic biopsies are useful to confirm the presence of esophagitis but biopsies alone do not give absolute diagnostic information.

In Infants And Children

The effectiveness of amplification for infants and children can be mediated by how much the child uses the device. Existing research suggests that establishing hearing aid use can be challenging. A wide range of factors can influence hearing aid use in children, including the child's age, degree of hearing loss, and socioeconomic status. Audiological interventions, including using validated prescriptive approaches and verification, performing on-going training and orientation, and communicating with caregivers about hearing aid use can also increase hearing aid use by infants and children. Case examples are used to highlight the factors that influence hearing aid use. Potential management strategies and future research needs are also discussed.
