Abstract

This is the first reported case of a laryngocoele developing after laryngeal trauma. A 26-year-old man sustained a shotgun injury to his larynx. A large number of shotgun pellets was removed from his left vestibular fold. He subsequently developed a left-sided laryngocoele, probably due to fibrosis around the neck of the saccule.The laryngocoele was removed by an external approach.
