SUMMARY: Laryngopyocele recurrence after initial surgical resection is a very rare occurrence. We present a case of recurrent laryngopyocele in which CT fluoroscopyϪguided hookwire placement was used to facilitate resection. In this article, we illustrate the imaging findings of laryngopyocele, review the approach to management, and describe the CT fluoroscopyϪguided hookwire placement procedure.

A laryngocele is a cystic dilatation of the laryngeal saccule. The etiology of laryngoceles is unclear, but congenital and acquired factors are considered to play a role in their development. An acquired laryngocele may develop when the laryngeal ventricle becomes functionally obstructed as a result of an increase in intraglottic pressure, such as that caused by excessive coughing, playing a wind instrument, glass blowing or obstruction of appendicular ostium. We present a case of laryngocele in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis. To the authors' knowledge, and from a review of the literature, this combination has not been previously described. The laryngocele was also infected in this case. We believe that development of the laryngocele might be a result of increased intra-abdominal pressure, caused by rheumatoid arthritis, with associated increased intralaryngeal pressure.

Internal laryngocele is one which is confi ned to the interior of the larynx and extends posterosuperiorly into the false cord and the aryepiglottic fold.…”

Laryngomucocele is a rare benign laryngeal disease characterized by cystic dilatation of laryngeal saccule with collection of mucous in it. The etiology behind its occurrence is still unclear, but congenital and acquired factors have been implicated in its development. Although it is a benign lesion, its presence in an old patient since many days should prompt the examiner to diligently search for laryngeal malignancy. We are presenting the case of a 61 years old male who presented with swelling in the neck, hoarseness of voice, dysphagia and dyspnea on exertion. The patient was thoroughly evaluated clinically, endoscopically and radiologically. He was diagnosed to be suffering from laryngomucocele and was managed by an external lateral cervical approach.
