Abstract
Laryngocoeles/laryngoceles are dilatations of the saccule of the laryngeal ventricle. They are therefore supraglottic cysts, the walls of which are lined by ciliated pseudostratified cylindrical epithelium with variable numbers of goblet cells. Internal laryngocoeles are limited to the larynx and confined medially by the false vocal cord, and laterally by the lamina of the thyroid cartilage.
