“…80-85% are unilateral with equal frequency between right and left sides (1,2,3). Of them, 20 to 40% are internal, 40-50% are combined, and 20-30% are strictly external (2,3,5).…”

An apparently healthy 31-year-old man presented with dysphonia. Laryngoscopy revealed a mass at the right side of epiglottis. He underwent a CT examination after intravenous injection of a iodinated contrast agent and this showed the presence of a paralaryngeal mass with rim enhancement. The diagnosis of laryngopyocele was made. Treatment consisted of endoscopic laser surgery, confirming the diagnosis and resolving the symptomatology.

“…Differential diagnoses include a cervical bronchogenic cyst (BROWN and TSCHEN 2000), ectopic cervical thymic cyst (TERZAKIS et al 2000), laryngocele, laryngeal mucocele (SWARTZ et al 1990), and especially cystic degeneration of a nodal metastasis of thyroid cancer, in which case the lesion may be solitary (AHUJA et al 1998b). Detection of a cystic mass in the b a c e Miscellaneous lateral neck should always prompt a search for possible association with a thyroid nodule; the difficulties of detecting nodules smaller than 5 mm should be kept in mind.…”

Cover-Design and Typesetting: Verlagsservice Teichmann, 69256 Mauer SPIN: 107099 57 21/3130 -543 2 1 O -Printed on acid-free paper ForewordSonography, by virtue of its noninvasive nature, is used more and more in modern medicine as the first imaging modality for adults and children presenting with unexplained cervical mass lesions as well as for the study of the carotid arteries and jugular veins.Remarkable advances have been achieved in ultrasound technology during the past 10 years, including color Doppler, power Doppler and the clinical use of new specific contrast agents. This technical progress has opened new and highly interesting diagnostic pathways for the study of a great variety of mass lesions affecting the various organs and anatomic areas of the head and neck region.This book intends to provided the latest, much-needed update of our knowledge on the diagnostic potential of sonography in the cervical region and constitutes a very welcome addition to our series "Medical Radiology", which aims to cover all important clinical imaging fields of modern diagnostic radiology. It will be of great interest for general and specialized radiologists, for pediatricians, and for vascular and head and neck surgeons.Professor J. N. Bruneton and his team in Nice are very well known experts in the field and they have, over the years, accumulated unique experience and a wealth of information on head and neck pathology as visualized with sonography. I would like to congratulate the editor and all contributors to this volume most sincerely for their outstanding work; the content is comprehensive, the illustrations superb.I would be pleased to receive any constructive criticism or comments that readers may like to express. Leuven ALBERT L. BAERT PrefaceAlmost 25 years ago, I had the pleasure of showing Jean-Noel Bruneton, then an enthusiastic student, the first detailed pictures of thyroid nodules which had become available thanks to a new generation of gray-scale machines with high-frequency, handheld transducers. Today, Prof. Bruneton, a well-known workaholic, has become one of the most distinguished specialists in this field. After 8 years of retirement, far away from ultrasound screens, I can measure the extent of the technical and clinical progress achieved in recent years. Immense changes have occurred since we first visualized thyroid nodules 25 years ago. This book by Prof. Bruneton and his associates should be considered a milestone in thyroid, parathyroid, and components of the neck, including vessels, and associated pathologies. The authors employ...

“…The anterosuperior aspect of this recess ends in a blind pouch called laryngeal saccule that extends upward through the paralaryngeal space, laterally limited by the thyrohyoid cartilage, and medially by the laryngeal wall (1)(2)(3) . They vary in size (5-15 mm in length), and typically may be observed in up to 30% of the adult population on routine computed tomography (CT) studies (1) .…”

“…Laryngoceles appearance at CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been already well characterized in the literature (1)(2)(3)8) , however few reports have described their features at ultrasonography (9,10) . The present paper reports the case of a patient referred to the Department of Ultrasonography for cervical evaluation because of a palpable mass, the diagnosis of laryngocele being suggested with basis on sonographic findings.…”

Laringocele: aspecto ultra-sonográfico - relato de caso

Laringoceles são lesões relativamente raras definidas como dilatações anômalas dos sáculos dos ventrículos laríngeos. A classificação usual divide a laringocele em interna, externa e combinada ou mista. Laringoceles internas são as que se localizam medialmente à cartilagem tireóidea e geralmente causam compressão nas bandas ventriculares levando a rouquidão e sintomas compressivos na via aérea. As externas se estendem através da membrana tireóidea, apresentando-se como massas cervicais, e as mistas são as que ocupam as duas regiões, podendo causar ambos os sintomas. O diagnóstico é geralmente feito por tomografia computadorizada e/ou laringoscopia. Apresentamos um caso de laringocele mista em que o diagnóstico foi sugerido no exame de ultra-sonografia, num paciente encaminhado com história de massa cervical.
