Abstract

A laryngocele is an air-filled dilatation of the saccule of the larynx. An in fected laryngocele is called a laryngopyocele. Our experience with two cases of laryngopyoceles are presented. Only 29 cases of laryngopyoceles have so far been reported in the literature (Illum and Nehen, 1980).

Case one had a right-sided combined laryngopyocele and case two had a right-sided combined laryngopyocele and a left-sided combined laryngocele.

Both our cases had their lesions excised via an external approach, as described by Yarington and Frazer (1966), with case two having a bilateral excision.
