Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To discuss the clinical efficacy of low-temperature radiofrequency ablaion for the treatment of neonatal tongue base cyst.METHODS Clinical data of 7 patients under the cystectomy with congenital tongue base cyst from July 2014 to Jan 2017 were reviewed.Diagnoses were confirmed by the medical history,electronic laryngoscopy and imaging examinations.RESULTS The tongue base cyst were totally removed in 7 patients and no 1 received invasive procedure.Follow-up survey ranged from 3 months to 2 years and only 1 case recurred in 6 months.CONCLUSION Low-temperature radiofrequency ablaion is a promising method for the neonatal tongue base cyst with less trauma and haemorrhage.Electronic laryngoscopy as a noninvasive,convenient,accurate examination method can be widely used in the diagnosis of neonatal upper airway obstruction diseases and postoperative follow-up of neonatal throat surgery.
