Two cases of viral supraglottis and associated airway compromise in the pediatric population have been described, one resulting from influenza and the other from parainfluenza virus infection.
[Figure 1 ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] A laryngoscopy was performed and the subglottis was found to be stenotic; the supraglottis appeared granular.
9-mm laryngeal microdebrider blade was used to remove the entire roof of the cyst and the surrounding soft tissue of the lateral supraglottis, thereby exposing the glottic airway (figure, B).
