Akut epiglottit seyrek olarak görülen, hayatı tehdit edici bir otorinolarengolojik acildir. Akut epiglottit komplikasyonu olarak gelişen epiglot apsesi ile epiglot kisti enfeksiyonunun ayırıcı tanısı, tedavi planlanmasını etkilemez. Hava yolu darlığı yoksa her ikisi de konservatif medikal tedaviye yanıt verir. Epiglottitten şüphelenilen hastada hava yolu kontrolü en önemli basamaktır. Bu yazıda akut epiglottit nedeniyle tedavi edilen, semptomları gerileyen ancak yapılan kontrol endoskopik muayenesinde epiglot kisti saptanması üzerine ameliyat edilen 35 yaşında bir erkek olgu sunuldu.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Akut epiglottit, epiglot apsesi; epiglot kisti.

Acute epiglottitis is a rarely seen, but life-threatening otorhinolaryngological emergency. Differential diagnosis of epiglottis abscess and epiglottis cyst infection as a complication of acute epiglottis does not affect the treatment plan. Both conditions respond to conservative treatment in the absence of airway stenosis. Airway control is the most critical step in a patient with suspected epiglottitis. In this article, we report a 35-year-old male case who was treated for acute epiglottitis with symptomatic relief, but, was diagnosed with an epiglottis cyst during repeated endoscopic examination and then operated.

Key words: Acute epiglottitis, epiglottis abscess; epiglottis cyst.
