    Abstract:
    37 children with cystic hygroma of the head and neck are reviewed. 92 per cent of the children required surgical excision of the cystic hygroma and one-third of these children suffered a permanent nerve palsy. Spontaneous resolution of the cystic hygroma occurred in 8 per cent of the children over a period of follow-up lasting on average 7 years 2 months (range 3 months-20 years). 41 per cent of the children suffered significant upper airway and feeding problems.
