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

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.
