“…Laryngeal ultrasound can be an interesting first-line examination in cases of external laryngocele, however, it is not very helpful in diagnosing internal laryngoceles. Confirmation relies on a CT scan, which is currently the most accurate imaging modality for their diagnosis in which laryngocele appears as an air-filled supraglottic mass, developed in the ventricular band, originating in the larynx, taking peripheral contrast, with the possibility of a hydroaerobic level in case of pyolaryngocele [ 9 , 11 ]. Another diagnostic possibility is MRI, which is helpful in defining boundaries of the dilatation and its relationship with thyrohyoid membrane, distinguishing internal from external and mixed laryngocele [ 1 , 10 ]; moreover, MRI can also demonstrate any concurrent malignancies better than CT scan and may be the investigation of choice in the non-acute situation [ 3 , 9 ].…”

Laryngoceles are rare dilated laryngeal saccules that can present as acute airway obstruction and lead to airway emergencies. A man, presented to the emergency room, with difficulty in breathing and change in voice. An unevaluated pulsatile swelling was present on the left side of neck. Since, the patient was in stridor, an awake fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB)-guided intubation was planned with readiness for emergency tracheostomy, if needed. On FOB, an edematous supraglottic area with a narrowed glottic opening was observed. The procedure was abandoned and a surgical tracheostomy was performed to secure the airway. Postoperative contrast-enhanced CT neck revealed a huge laryngocele in left cervical region. We recommend that a high index of suspicion for presence of laryngocele should be kept in mind when a patient presents with stridor with pulsatile neck swelling. Timely aspiration of laryngocele may help in amelioration of the respiratory distress avoiding emergency tracheostomy.

<p>Laryngocele is a benign dilatation of the laryngeal saccule with incidence of 1 in 2.5 million people per year. Known as a disease of trumpet blowers, laryngocoele mainly affects the older male population with occupational predisposition. We aimed to review a case of laryngocele in a 55-year-old merchant in terms of clinical presentation, radiographical features, other investigations and surgical management. The detailed description of the case of mixed laryngocele which was evaluated in the department of ENT, HIMS, Hassan will be given. Literature was reviewed for similar cases of this entity and was studied in terms of age, sex, location, treatment and outcome. Out of the 50 cases reviewed, majority were males with neck swelling being the most common clinical presentation. The 48 cases were treated surgically and most of the specimen displayed respiratory epithelium on histopathological examination. 8 specimens showed varied histopathological finding including 3 squamous cell carcinomas. One case recurred over a 6-month period follow up.</p>
