Sizeable acquired subglottic cyst in a baby with Williams–Beuren syndrome: Association or coincidence?

We describe a case of an acquired subglottic cyst presented with persistent stridor and voice hoarsening in a baby diagnosed with Williams–Beuren syndrome that was born premature and required intubation during neonatal period. We also comment on whether this is a coincidence or there can be an assoc...

Summary:We describe a case of an acquired subglottic cyst presented with persistent stridor and voice hoarsening in a baby diagnosed with Williams–Beuren syndrome that was born premature and required intubation during neonatal period. We also comment on whether this is a coincidence or there can be an association between impaired elastogenesis, a feature of patients with the syndrome and the formation of a subglottic cyst.
