    Abstract:
    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.
