Presentation
We present an interesting case of bilateral laryngocele in a 45-year-old male presented clinically as hoarseness and left sided neck mass without any history of predisposing factors. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Recurrent Infection
In cases of recurrent infection, normal surgical planes are often fibrosed and obscured increasing the risk of neurovascular sacrifice and functional losses. We are reporting a case of recurrent infections in a large, palpable external laryngocele. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Respiratory Disorders
Acromegalic patients have a reduced life expectancy mainly due to cardio-, cerebrovascular and respiratory disorders and increased prevalence of neoplasias. Particularly, the pathogenesis of respiratory disorders in acromegalics is debated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Dyspnea at Rest
CASE PRESENTATION: A 46-year-old man presented with stridor, wheezing, dyspnea at rest, hoarseness evolving over two months, and cyanosis secondary to cervical swelling. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Ankylosis
Circulating GH and IGF-I hypersecretion caused edema and laxity of laryngeal mucosa as well as bilateral ankylosis of cricoarytenoidal joints. The use of CO2 laser technique via micro-laryngoscopy successfully resolved laryngeal abnormalities. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Suggestibility
The described appearance suggested the presence of air within the lesion. Later in the study, an equally air-filled connection was found between the mass and the larynx at the same level, suggesting the hypothesis of laryngocele. [scielo.br]
Abstract Since laryngoceles are usually asymptomatic, their incidence is probably higher than the literature suggests. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Impulsivity
[…] lateral to it. [1] As the laryngocele expands and escapes laterally across the thyroid cartilage, the air-filled communication may become tenuous, even though pressure changes may still be transmitted through it; this accounts for the presence of a cough impulse [laryngologyandvoice.org]

Neck Swelling
Endoscopic vestibulectomy was performed with a carbon dioxide laser; neither residual neck mass nor a tract leading to the extralaryngeal neck swelling was detected. The immediate and long-term clinical course has been uneventful. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Clinically, laryngocele usually manifest with hoarseness and neck swelling (4). But most of them remain asymptomatic with a post-mortem discovery reaching 6% (2). [latunisiemedicale.com]

Treatment
Imaging studies are essential for making diagnosis, determining the type, localization, extent of laryngocele and for treatment. Surgery is the treatment of choice in laryngocele. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Laryngoceles are uncommon entities and currently there is no consensus regarding their surgical treatment. Various modalities of treatment have been utilized [11, 13–18]. [hindawi.com]
We propose CT-guided percutaneous drainage as a safe and viable treatment option for patients with postoperative laryngoceles, either to improve the risk of surgery or as a definitive treatment. [ajnr.org]
Prognosis
MRI Same morphological characteristics observed on CT, usually: T1: low signal T2: high signal T1C (Gd): absent-to-minimal linear peripheral enhancement; when thick enhancing walls are present, consider pyolaryngocele Treatment and prognosis Surgical [radiopaedia.org]
They are radiosensitive and have a relatively good prognosis. [asnr.org]
Etiology
We would like to mention that amyloidosis should be evaluated in the etiology of patients diagnosed as having a laryngocele. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

Prevalence and Epidemiology A laryngocele of the laryngeal ventricle saccule is a sporadic condition believed to be more frequent in wind instrument players or glassblowers ( Fig. 9.17 ). [radiologykey.com]
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology was explained by the long history of tobacco smoking and the underlying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with chronic cough. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology: Factors that cause an increase in intra laryngeal pressure like coughing, straining, blowing wind instruments may cause laryngocele. [drpaulose.com]
We discuss the complications of tracheostomy and the pathophysiology of laryngoceles and in particular the likely aetiological factors in this case. [bmcsurg.biomedcentral.com]
Prevention
Careful dissection of the neck of a laryngocele sac is important to prevent damage to the neurovascular bundle. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The neck of the saccule has been postulated to act as a one way valve allowing accumulation of air and preventing its egress. Clinical features: Mostly laryngocele are incidentally discovered during routine laryngeal examination. [drpaulose.com]
