Overview
Introduction: Laryngocele is a very rare disease resulting from an abnormal dilatation of the laryngeal saccule. It may be congenital or acquired after prolonged increased air pressure on the tissue. The vast majority of laryngocele cases are treated surgically; the course of the disease is very individual and the prognosis is highly dependent on the patient’s cooperation with their doctor and therapist. Aim: The aim is to present the case study of a patient with the laryngocele and the difficulties of diagnostics and treatment. Method: We present the case study of a 61-year-old miner and musician who plays the trumpet. In this specific patient, the laryngocele was surgically treated, with follow-up physiotherapy treatment. The authors describe the pre-surgery status of the voice analysis and the effect of post-surgery rehabilitation. Results: Objectively, a physiological endolaryngeal finding was demonstrated after the surgery, without recurrence of the disease, the results of voice analysis objectively improved after the surgery and physiotherapy intervention.
