Abstract

Cystic hygromas are relatively rare, congenital, benign lymphatic malformations, characterized by single or multi-loculated, fluid filled cavities. As these masses most often occur in the head and neck they can result in significant airway obstruction. We present the case of an infant born with a large, obstructive cervical cystic hygroma and the challenges of airway management in this clinical scenario.
