Vallecular cysts are quite rare entities, & most publications in the literature are case reports that describe neonatal airway obstruction or difficult intubation in adults . Conservative management is usually performed in asymptomatic cases. Treatment options include cyst aspiration, marsupialization, surgical debulking, & laser excision in symptomatic cases. Here we discuss the unique excision of a vallecular cyst in an elderly patient with the help of a coablator.
