    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This review of 139 laryngocele cases found they predominantly affect men in their sixth decade. Hoarseness and neck lumps are common symptoms, with laryngoceles potentially being an atavistic remnant.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Anatomy
    • Evolutionary Biology

    Background:

    • Laryngocele is a rare laryngeal anomaly.
    • Understanding its epidemiology and characteristics is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and analyze all reported cases of laryngocele in the English literature.
    • To characterize the demographic, clinical, and etiological features of laryngocele.

    Main Methods:

    • Comprehensive literature review of laryngocele cases.
    • Inclusion of nine additional cases for analysis.
    • Statistical analysis of collected data.

    Main Results:

    • A total of 139 laryngocele cases were analyzed.
  • Predominantly affects men (5:1 ratio) in their sixth decade.
  • Common presentations include hoarseness and neck lumps; 8% present as infected pyoceles.

    • Conclusions:

    • Laryngoceles are more common in men and present with hoarseness or neck masses.
    • Etiology is likely atavistic, possibly linked to primate anatomy, rather than forceful blowing.
    • Increased laryngeal pressure, potentially from carcinoma, may unmask existing laryngoceles.
