ABSTRACT
Background: Laryngocele is a pathological dilation of the saccule or appendage of
the Morgagni’s ventricle. It is estimated that the incidence of laryngocele is 1 per 2.5
million inhabitants per year. The causes of laryngoceles are not well understood yet. In
adults, an increase in intraluminal pressure in the laryngeal saccule is frequently associated,
such as playing wind instruments, sing, lift weights, or glass blowers.
Clinic case: A 25-year-old female patient, referred to our service, with failure in
her previous approach, diagnosis and treatment. We diagnosed external laryngocele
and it was successfully treated by external approach.
Conclusions: External laryngocele, although it is a rare condition, should be considered
among the differential diagnoses of cervical tumors of chemical consistency,
taking into account a detailed clinical examination, with the support of direct laryngoscopy
and the characterization of the lesion and its limits by an imaging study such
as computed tomography.
