Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Head and Neck Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Laryngoceles and saccular cysts are uncommon laryngeal pathologies.
  • Historically diagnosed clinically, they are now frequently detected via radiographic procedures in patients with suspected head and neck cancer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current evidence on the classification, anatomy, clinical symptoms, etiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic techniques, and treatment of laryngoceles and saccular cysts.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on laryngoceles and saccular cysts.
  • Analysis of diagnostic radiographic procedures in patients with suspected laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer.

Main Results:

  • Laryngoceles were found in 4.2% of 2,068 patients studied for suspected laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer.
  • Three types of laryngoceles (internal, external, mixed/combined) and two categories of saccular cysts (anterior, lateral) are recognized.
  • These conditions can be congenital or acquired and affect individuals of all ages.

Conclusions:

  • Laryngoceles and saccular cysts, though rare, warrant consideration in head and neck imaging evaluations.
  • Comprehensive understanding of their varied presentations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
