Laryngopyocele is a rare diagnosis that can cause life-threating conditions such as airway obstruction and even death. Emergency ultrasound (POCUS) can be very helpful during the diagnosis and monitoring of the illness because it is both easy to apply and repeatable. A deep neck infection was diagnosed as laryngopyocele by POCUS in the emergency department; this is the first case in the literature.
喉下囊是一种罕见的诊断,可导致危及生命的情况,如气道阻塞,甚至死亡。急诊超声(POCUS)在诊断和监测疾病时非常有帮助,因为它既易于应用又可重复。在急诊科,通过 POCUS 诊断出深部颈部感染为喉下囊,这是文献中的首例病例。
