Abstract：
Consensus-based recommendations are needed to better guide paediatric otolaryngologists in providing standardised care to children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). Here we present a unique case of vallecular cyst found during SDB workup in a patient in their middle childhood (6-12 years old). While the patient underwent successful cyst resection, he was noted to have a suspected recurrence 6 months later. Immediately prior to revision excision, repeat awake flexible fibre-optic laryngoscopy revealed complete resolution of the suspected recurrence. This case underscores the significance of performing a complete upper airway examination, including endoscopic examination, to identify structural and anatomical lesions in older children with SDB.
摘要：
需要基于共识的建议，以更好地指导儿科耳鼻喉科医师为睡眠呼吸障碍（SDB）儿童提供标准化护理。在这里，我们介绍了在儿童中期（6-12岁）的患者在SDB检查期间发现的一个独特案例。虽然患者接受了成功的囊肿切除术，6个月后，他被发现怀疑复发。在修订切除之前，重复清醒的柔性光纤喉镜检查显示可疑复发完全解决。该病例强调了进行完整上呼吸道检查的重要性，包括内窥镜检查,确定SDB大龄儿童的结构和解剖学病变。
