Yenidoğanda solunum sıkıntısının nadir bir nedeni: Konjenital vallekülar kist

Konjenital vallekülar kist oldukça nadir görülen ve doğumdan hemen sonra mortalite ile seyredebilen bir hastalıktır. Bu yazıda 17 günlük siyanoz ve ciddi solunum sıkıntısı olan bir yenidoğanda acil olarak müdahale edilerek cerrahi tedavisi yapılan vallekülar kist olgusu, literatür eşliğinde tanı ve tedavi yöntemleri açısından tartışılmıştır. Ciddi solunum sıkıntısı olan hastalarda gerekirse şeksibl laringoskopi yapılmasını beklemeksizin ameliyathane şartlarında entübe edilmeden spontan solunumu devam ederken direkt laringoskopi de yapılabilir. Böylece konjenital vallekülar kist gibi cerrahi olarak tedavi edilebilecek durumlarda da hemen müdahale imkanı sağlanabilir.

A rare cause of neonatal respiratory distress; Congenital vallecular cyst

Congenital vallecular cyst is a very rarely seen disease which may result in mortality soon after birth. In this article, a vallecular cyst case of a newborn having cyanosis and severe respiratory distress for 17 days who was urgently treated by surgical operation is discussed in terms of diagnosis and treatment methods in company with the relevant literature. In patients with severe respiratory distress if deemed necessary, a direct laryngoscopy may be performed without intubation in operative conditions in the patient who has spontaneous respiration, without a delay for flexible laryngoscopy. Thus, immediate medical attention is possible for surgically treatable cases such as congenital vallecular cysts.
