A laryngocele is an abnormal dilatation of the laryngeal saccule. It is a rare benign lesion of the larynx. Various modalities of treatment have been advocated for its management. We present our treatment results and outcomes of a series of cases of laryngoceles and discuss the concepts of their management. This study included patients with different laryngocele types. Patients with an internal laryngocele underwent endoscopic CO2 laser resection, while those with a combined laryngocele underwent resection via a V-shaped lateral thyrotomy approach. Seven patients had an internal laryngocele, and 4 patients had a combined laryngocele. Hoarseness and neck swelling were the most common symptoms. The mean follow-up period was 8.5 months. None of the patients needed a tracheostomy either preoperatively or postoperatively, or had recurrence of laryngocele. We advocate the lateral thyrotomy approach for combined laryngoceles as it provides safe, precise, and complete resection under direct visualization via a single approach, while we favor the endoscopic laser approach for the internal ones as it allows resection of the entire lesion with minimal laryngeal trauma, less operative time, and a shorter hospital stay.

AbstractObjective:We report a case of unilateral combined laryngocoele occurring in conjunction with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.Methods:Case report and review of the literature concerning the physiology underlying laryngocoele formation.Results:A laryngocoele is an abnormal, air-filled dilation of the laryngeal saccule which communicates with the laryngeal lumen. We report a case of a 53-year-old man with a unilateral combined laryngocoele occurring in conjunction with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. Microlaryngoscopy demonstrated a papilloma obstructing the laryngeal saccule. Removal of papillomata via laser excision and marsupialisation of the left laryngocoele improved the patient's vocal symptoms. There was no recurrence of papillomata or the laryngocoele.Conclusion:While many laryngocoeles can be explained by altered laryngeal physiology, the papilloma described in this case acted as an anatomical obstruction that trapped air within the saccule, creating an environment conducive to laryngocoele formation.

Meta Analyses

Objective A laryngocele is a space that develops as a result of pathological dilatation of the laryngeal saccule. However, the reported management of laryngoceles varies. We conducted a systematic review of the literature regarding the surgical management of laryngoceles and pyolaryngoceles, to understand the evolving nature of treatment for this rare condition. Methods We searched for publications in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, JBI Library of Systematic Reviews, and Ovid databases using the terms “laryngocele”, “pyolaryngocele”, and “laryngopyocele”, and reviewed the identified articles. Results After removal of repeated studies and filtering for relevance and studies written in English, a total of 227 studies were included in this review. No meta-analyses or randomized controlled trials have been published. The identified studies have been summarized in 14 reviews conducted since 1946. The meta-analysis determined that endoscopy was the preferred approach for internal laryngoceles, while combined laryngoceles benefited from both internal and external surgical approaches. Conclusions Laryngocele management has progressed since its initial description, from open surgery to an endoscopic approach, and more recently to a robotic-assisted surgical approach. The uptake of robotic surgery as a possible treatment modality over the last decade shows much promise for the treatment of these conditions.

Rule Out

The symptoms, endoscopic findings, treatment and results of 46 patients with laryngoceles and saccular cysts are presented. Thirty-four were adults; 12 were infants and children under three years of age. Twenty-two adults had anterior saccular cysts, nine had lateral saccular cysts; three had laryngoceles. Ten infants and children had saccular cysts; two had laryngoceles. A laryngocele is an abnormal dilatation of the saccule which communicates with the lumen of the larynx, fills with air but on occasion may be temporarily distended with mucus; laryngoceles may be congenital or acquired. A saccular cyst is a mucus-filled dilatation of the saccule which does not communicate with the laryngeal lumen; saccular cysts are classified as lateral or anterior. Laryngoceles and saccular cysts represent abnormalities of the laryngeal saccule; a developmental spectrum exists among the normal saccule, large saccule, laryngocele and saccular cyst. The treatment of saccular cysts in infants and children is primarily repeated aspiration. In adults, symptomatic laryngoceles and large lateral saccular cysts are treated by an external approach; endoscopic aspiration and unroofing of small lateral saccular cysts is sometimes adequate and is attempted first. Anterior saccular cysts are treated by endoscopic excision biopsy. Carcinoma of the larynx may be found in association with a laryngocele or saccular cyst and must be diligently searched for by biopsies in the region of the saccular orifice. A smooth mass involving the area of the false vocal cord and aryepiglottic fold cannot be assumed to be a lateral saccular cyst; biopsies of the ventricle and saccule and deep incisional biopsies of the mass are indicated to rule out a carcinoma originating in the ventricle or saccule.

Laryngeal Saccule

ABSTRACT A saccular cyst is a mucous-filled dilatation of the laryngeal saccule which can be congenital or acquired. The management of these cysts has changed over the period of time. An adult patient was presented with hoarseness of voice. Videolaryngoscopy showed a well-defined pedunculated mass. Endoscopic-guided excision of the cyst was done. Histopathology showed features of saccular cyst of larynx. Laryngeal saccular cyst should be excised to relieve voice change, respiratory obstruction and for possible carcinomatous change. This article aims at management of saccular cyst along with review of literature. How to cite this article Shantharam L, Somashekara KG, Priya NS. Saccular Cyst of Larynx.

Laryngeal Saccule

ABSTRACT Laryngocele is a rare, benign dilatation of the laryngeal saccule that may extend internally into the airway or externally through the thyrohyoid membrane. The incidence of laryngocele is 1 per 2.5 million people per year. It may be asymptomatic or sometimes may present with cough, hoarseness, stridor, sore throat and as a swelling on one or both sides of the neck. We are reporting a case of bilateral mixed laryngocele in a 41 years old male, its clinical presentation and investigations along with a review of literature.
