Abstract
Vallecular cyst is a very rare lesion which can be potentially dangerous during anesthesia because they may completely obstruct the larynx or the anesthesiologist's view of the larynx causing difficult intubation and thus become life-threatening. This report describes airway management difficulties in a patient with an asymptomatic and undiagnosed vallecular cyst. Anaesthetic issues surrounding this pathology are discussed.
