Congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS) is a rare but life-threatening condition that results from the obstruction of the upper airways. The most common cause for CHAOS are laryngeal atresia, subglottic stenosis and complete diaphragm of larynx. Congenital laryngeal cysts are rare condition. Although it may cause a significant obstruction of the upper airways, it generally does not significantly narrow the airways. Young children are often asymptomatic. In this report, a newborn with severe airway obstruction at birth, caused by a giant congenital laryngeal cyst, is presented.
