Abstract

A case of median cervical cyst causing sleep apnea syndrome is reported. A 64-yearold man complained of apneic episodes. A 45×45×60 mm cyst presented between the hyoid bone and the thyroid cartilage, and caused upper-airway obstruction. The cyst was removed surgically and clinical symptoms improved markedly.
