Abstract

Laryngocele represents an abnormal invagination of the mucous membrane from the Morgagni laryngeal ventricle, being filled with air and communicating with the laryngeal inlet. The symptoms are intermittent, with recurrent episodes of dysphonia and airway insufficiency. Exceptionally, the wall of the cyst could become malignant. This case was reported given the association between laryngeal carcinoma and external laryngocele.

Summary

Introduction

Laryngocele represents an abnormal invagination of the mucous membrane from the Morgagni laryngeal ventricle, being filled with air and communicating with the laryngeal inlet. (4) Laringocelele unilaterale sunt mai frecvent întâlnite decât cele bilaterale. (3) Studiile sugerează că apariţia laringocelului este rezultatul interacţiunii dintre susceptibilitatea congenitală şi alţi factori care duc la creşterea presiunii intralaringiene, cum ar fi tuse, cântat la instrumente de suflat, suflatul la suflătorii de sticlă.
