Data of pre-and post-operative images and video of marsupialization of congenital vallecular cyst by coblation technique

Abstract

This data describes the modern surgical treatment of congenital vallecular cyst in a term newborn infant who developed neonatal stridor on day 1 of life. Diagnosis was made by nasoendoscopy and the infant underwent successful treatment by marsupialization via coblation technique. Images and videos were taken during the procedure both pre and post-operatively. This case highlights the need for an interdisciplinary evaluation of persistent neonatal stridor in newborn infants for early diagnosis and intervention to avoid critical airway obstruction and potentially fatal outcomes, DOI: 10.1016/j.epsc.2020.101460 [1].
