Abstract
A laryngocele is a rare laryngeal condition resulting from abnormal dilatation of the saccule of Morgagni’s laryngeal ventricle. It can contain air, mucus, or pus in case of infection, defining respectively a laryngocele, a laryngo-mucocele, or a laryngo-pyocele. The internal form, although uncommon, may cause acute upper airway obstruction, potentially life-threatening. We report the cases of three patients admitted in emergency for severe acute laryngeal dyspnea, revealing an internal laryngo-mucocele. Through these cases, we analyze the clinical, radiological, and therapeutic aspects of this condition and emphasize the importance of early imaging diagnosis and appropriate surgical management.
