Abstract

Laryngeal saccular cyst may develop when obstruction of the orifice of the saccule occurs with resultant dilatation of saccule. It is classified into anterior saccular cyst and lateral saccular cyst. When saccular cyst occurs in infancy, it usually may cause respiratory distress, inspiratory stridor, cyanosis and dysphagia. In adults, it may cause hoarseness, dyspnea, dysphagia, pain and neck mass. The laryngeal saccular cyst may be treated by its removal with endoscopic or external approach, depending on the classification of saccular cysts, its size and individual patient factor. Recently, we have experienced a case of laryngeal saccular cyst so we report our clinical experience with brief review of literature.
