Laryngocele

Definition

A laryngocele is a rare, air-filled dilation or herniation of the laryngeal saccule, which is a small sac-like structure within the larynx. It can be congenital or acquired and may cause symptoms such as hoarseness, difficulty breathing, or recurrent infections. Laryngoceles can be classified as internal, external, or mixed, depending on their location and extension.
