Saccular cyst is a rare lesion of larynx causing respiratory obstruction and stridor in neonates and infants. Herein we present a case of a 4 year old who presented to us with intermittent respiratory distress and stridor. Fibreoptic bronchoscopy showed the presence of saccular cyst overhanging the anterior part of right vocal cord. Endoscopic marsupialization of cyst is done using laryngeal microdebrider with stripping of cyst lining. Saccular cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of children presenting with intermittent stridor
