  • Look Inside

 A 74-year-old male was complaining of pharyngo-laryngeal discomfort. Laryngoscopic examination revealed a swelling of the false vocal fold. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a mass located the sub-mucosal region of the larynx and remained within the thyroid cartilage. We diagnosed it as an internal laryngocele. We successfully resected the surface of the cele,just as the same procedure of vestibulectomy,under the direct endoscope using CO2 laser. The internal surface of the cele was cauterized with CO2 laser. No distarbance of laryngeal function was observed after the surgery. Three weeks after the surgery,the epithelium covered the cauterized lesion. During the period of observation,no recurrence of the cele was observed. It was confirmed that resection under endoscopic CO2 laser is useful for the internal laryngocele because of less bleeding during the operation,early regeneration of the epithelium,and low risk for losing the laryngeal function.
