Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Laryngeal Pathology

Background:

  • Laryngeal trauma can lead to various complications affecting airway and voice.
  • Laryngocoeles are rare dilatations of the laryngeal saccule, typically congenital or acquired due to obstruction.
  • Post-traumatic laryngocoele is an uncommon sequela.

Observation:

  • A 26-year-old male presented with a severe laryngeal injury from a shotgun wound.
  • Surgical removal of numerous shotgun pellets from the left vestibular fold was performed.
  • A subsequent left-sided laryngocoele developed.

Findings:

  • The laryngocoele formation was attributed to fibrosis around the saccular neck post-trauma.
  • This represents the first documented instance of laryngocoele following laryngeal trauma.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Surgical excision of the laryngocoele was achieved via an external approach.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights a rare complication of laryngeal trauma, expanding the differential diagnosis.
    • Emphasizes the importance of recognizing potential delayed sequelae after significant laryngeal injury.
    • Suggests that management of laryngeal trauma should consider the risk of saccular complications.
