摘要：

ALTHOUGH vallecular cysts are often asymptomatic and harmless to the patient, discovery of a large vallecular cyst after induction of anesthesia is a potentially life-threatening problem for the patient and provides for the anesthesiologist a challenge in airway management. This report describes the treatment of a patient with an asymptomatic vallecular cyst that was discovered during rapid-sequence induction of general anesthesia.
