A Rare Case of Internal Laryngopyocele presenting with Stridor

Abstract

ABSTRACT A laryngocele is an abnormal elongation and expansion of the saccule of the laryngeal ventricle. When the neck of the laryngocele is obstructed, it becomes filled with mucus of glandular secretion and is altered to a laryngomucocele. When this lesion becomes infected, laryngopyocele is formed. In view of the general rarity of laryngopyoceles and even more so, one causing acute airway obstruction, it was decided to report an instance of the latter type. The clinical features and management of this rare case has been described. How to cite this article Bhat VS, Sobhan Y, Ravi KS. A Rare Case of Internal Laryngopyocele presenting with Stridor.
