LARYNGEAL SCHWANNOMA IN AN 8-YEAR-OLD BOY WITH INSPIRATORY DYSPNEA

Background. Schwannomas of the larynx are rare lesions in the pediatric age group. Methods. In this article, we report on the neuroimaging fea- tures of a schwannoma arising from the left aryepiglottic fold in an 8-year-old boy with a 6-month history of inspiratory dyspnea. Results. Neuroimaging showed a well-defined, avoid mass originating from the left aryepiglottic fold. The lesion was removed endoscopically. Conclusion. Complete removal of laryngeal schwannomas is curative, and adjuvant treatment is not required. V
