Congenital laryngeal cyst is a rare occurrence. It is an important but rare cause of neonatal stridor and should be kept as a provisional diagnosis after ruling out laryngomalacia. The case study tells us the importance of doing a laryngoscopic examination in every neonate presenting with stridor. The patient in our study underwent endoscopic marsupialization of the cyst which happens to be the treatment of choice in case of a laryngeal cyst.
