JOHN SUNDAR SINGH P S

Abstract


Laryngocele is a rare, benign dilatation of the  laryngeal saccule which may be asymptomatic or they may present with hoarseness, swelling of the neck, cough, stridor and sore throat. We present a case of 33 yr old business man who presented with complaints of hoarse voice and neck swelling for 6 months. After detailed history, clinical and   radiological investigations, he was diagnosed to have mixed laryngocoele on right side. Surgical excision by external            approach was done.
