Laryngocele is the cystic dilatation of laryngeal ventricle. Most cases are asymptomatic and incidentally diagnosed in radiologic examinations. Although the etiology is unclear, obstruction, laryngeal pressure, congenital defects are possible risk factors. Computed tomography is the best method for diagnosis. Endoscopic, external or combined approaches have been described in the surgical treatment. Laryngocele should be kept in mind in patients with acute upper airway obstruction. Such patients may require tracheostomy. Some patients with laryngocele can also have laryngeal cancer, in which case direct laryngoscopy must be performed. This report presents a case with respiratory distress associated with bilateral laryngocele, and his management in the light of the literature.
喉膨出是喉室的囊性扩张。大多数病例无症状，在影像学检查中偶然被诊断出来。虽然病因尚不清楚，但梗阻、喉内压力、先天性缺陷可能是危险因素。计算机断层扫描是最佳诊断方法。手术治疗有内镜、外部或联合手术方式。急性上气道梗阻患者应考虑喉膨出。这类患者可能需要气管切开术。一些喉膨出患者也可能患有喉癌，在这种情况下必须进行直接喉镜检查。本报告介绍了一例与双侧喉膨出相关的呼吸窘迫病例，并根据文献阐述了其治疗方法。
