- Vallecular cysts are rare. It is important to be aware of their presence as they can cause upper airway obstruction. We describe a case of congenital vallecular cyst diagnosed at 28 weeks of gestation. This early diagnosis enabled us to plan careful perinatal management. We believe that, in cases of suspected oropharyngeal tumors, elective delivery should be carried out in a tertiary referral center in which emergency ventilation and tracheostomy are possible.
