Laryngocele is a rare, benign dilatation of the laryngeal saccule that may extend internally into the airway or externally through the thyrohyoid membrane. When it is secondarily infected, it is called laryngopyocele, which is even rarer. Many laryngoceles are asymptomatic; sometimes, they may cause a cough, hoarseness, stridor, sore throat and may present as a swelling on one or both sides of the neck. Laryngocele may be associated with supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma. Computed tomography scan is the most effective imaging method for diagnosis. Surgery is the treatment of choice. A case of large mixed laryngopyocele in a 75-year-old male is described together with surgical management and follow-up. A review of the literature is also presented.
喉膨出是一种罕见的喉囊良性扩张，可向内延伸至气道，或通过甲状舌骨膜向外延伸。当它继发感染时，称为脓性喉膨出，更为罕见。许多喉膨出无症状；有时，它们可能引起咳嗽、声音嘶哑、喘鸣、咽痛，并可能表现为颈部一侧或双侧肿胀。喉膨出可能与声门上鳞状细胞癌有关。计算机断层扫描是诊断的最有效成像方法。手术是首选治疗方法。本文描述了一例75岁男性的巨大混合性脓性喉膨出病例及其手术治疗和随访情况。同时还对相关文献进行了综述。
