Case Reports of Low-Temperature Plasma Radiofrequency Treatment for Congenital Epiglottic Cysts in Neonates and Infants.

An uncommon benign condition in neonates, known as congenital epiglottic cyst, can lead to symptoms such as neonatal dyspnea, laryngeal stridor, and, in severe cases, even pose a potential threat of asphyxia-related mortality. A congenital epiglottic cyst is one of the neonatal emergencies. Fibrolaryngoscopy is the predominant method of diagnosis, and early identification, diagnosis, as well as treatment are the key points. Successful endoscopic ablation of congenital epiglottic cysts in 3 newborns was achieved through the utilization of a low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation system. Consequently, the purpose of this case report is to assist pediatric emergency physicians in the timely identification of congenital epiglottic cysts with the potential risk of mortality and to provide additional experience in clinical management.
