Abstract

Objectives: Discuss the antipathogenic, diagnostic and therapeutic aspect.

Case report: These are two female patients of 30-day, 35-year-old who received mass consultation for the left mandible. The cervical mass in both cases were expansive respectively to screaming and maneuvering Valsalva. Healing of the pathway associated with dyspnea was found in the first and dysphonia in the second. Nasofibroscopy revealed left ventricular tumefaction with both patients. Pharyngolaryngeal CT scan has confirmed laryngocele. The treatment was surgical with excision of the pocket in the second patient and in the first patient the surgical alternative could not be performed.

Conclusion: Laryngocele is a rare dilatation of the laryngeal saccule. The clinical characteristics are orientative elements. The pharyngolaryngeal CT scan is a reliable diagnostic tool. The surgical excision of the laryngocele is the gold standard and compensates for recurrence
