Bilateral laryngoceles in a young trumpet player: case report

Author(s): Sataloff, R. T.

Abstract: We report the case of a 16-year-old trumpet player who was referred for an otolaryngologic consultation after his band leader noticed that a neck mass would protrude while the boy was playing. X-rays revealed the presence of bilateral laryngoceles, and computed tomography demonstrated bilateral, air-filled outpouchings of the laryngeal saccules during forced expiration. There was no evidence of any other intra-laryngeal or cervical pathology. Surgery was deferred while the laryngoceles remained reducible and asymptomatic, and the boy was cleared to continue playing.
