We also review the anatomy, etiology, and clinical course of the different types of laryngoceles.

متن کاملLaryngeal debridement: an alternative treatment for a laryngopyocele presenting with severe airway obstruction
The laryngocele is an abnormal saccular dilatation of the ventricle of Morgagni, which maintains its communication with the laryngeal vestibule. Three types of laryngoceles have been described: internal, external, and combined or mixed in relation to the position of the sac with respect to the thyrohyoid membrane. If the laryngocele becomes obstructed and infected it leads to the so-called lary...
