Laryngocoele is a well known but uncommon condition in Otolaryngology. CT scanning is superior to other imaging modalities in establishing the diagnosis, delineating the anatomy and aiding in the management. A case is presented with a review of the literature.

Laryngopyocoele: An unusual cause of airway obstruction
TLDR
An 88-year-old woman presented with a 2-day history of dysphagia, hoarseness and inspiratory stridor, and with the clear rapid increase in swelling it was felt that an urgent tracheostomy was the safest intervention.
Larynx and Hypopharynx
TLDR
This work describes the use of high-frequency ultrasound (US) for examination of laryngeal anatomy and pathologies, however, the infrequency of such studies is probably due to unfamiliarity with the normal sonographic features of the larynx and hypopharynx.
Congenital laryngomucocoele: a rare cause for CHAOS
TLDR
A female newborn, from a Grávida II, Para 0, 36-year-old woman, with a routine ultrasound at 30 weeks’ gestation that showed polyhydramnios is described, who delivered a live-born female baby at 36 weeks without any dismorphic features but with respiratory distress.

Computed tomographic evaluation of laryngoceles.
TLDR
Computed tomography of the larynx was used in three patients with laryngoceles and was able to define the extent more precisely than either clinical examination or conventional radiographic techniques.

The computer tomographic appearances of internal, external and mixed laryngoceles are described on the basis of ten patients and the differential diagnosis is considered.
Computed tomography of laryngoceles.
TLDR
Six patients with laryngoceles, two internal and four of the mixed type, were studied with CT and it proved useful in establishing the definitive diagnosis of a laryNGocele and mapping its total extent for treatment planning.
CT of submucosal and occult laryngeal masses.
TLDR
Computed tomographic examinations were performed on 24 patients with entirely submucosal laryngeal mass lesions and 13 patients were eventually diagnosed as having squamous cell carcinoma, which was the primary working diagnosis following CT in 12 cases.
