Background Schwannomas of the larynx are rare lesions in the pediatric age group. Methods In this article, we report on the neuroimaging features 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. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2007
