Orbital emphysema (OE) is usually the result of a fracture of lamina papyrecea or maxillary roof allowing air to pass from the sinuses into the orbit. OE without evidence of any significant trauma is a rare occurrence. Thorough literature search revealed that no case of OE due to the rupture of internal laryngocele has been reported. A case is reported here of bilateral orbitopalpebral emphysema associated with internal laryngocele, in the absence of facial skeleton trauma, in a healthy young adult male. It should be kept in mind that laryngocele rupture would be one of the underlying causes of OE or OE would be the presenting symptom of laryngocele rupture.

Laryngocele, a dilation of the laryngeal saccule, is an uncommon and benign air-filled lesion that expands upwards into the ventricle of Morgagni. A unilateral growth within the larynx that is in communication with the laryngeal lumen typically signals its presence. The exact cause of the disorder remains uncertain, although there are three main theories which suggest congenital reasons, increased pressure in the larynx, or mechanical obstruction of the ventricle of Morgagni.

Jugular phlebectasia is an enlargement of the jugular vein that manifests as a soft, cystic lump in the neck which can be compressed, becomes prominent on crying or straining and disappears on rest. It needs to be distinguished from laryngocele, neck cysts, and tumours that can also develop with straining. We report a case of a seven-year-old boy presenting with a cervical cystic mass.

Laryngocele is an air-filled dilatation of the laryngeal saccule that can be classified according to its extent (internal, external, or combined) and contents (laryngocele or laryngopyocele). To date, there is no consensus on the best treatment for laryngocele. The present study aims to demonstrate for the first time the effectiveness of CO2 laser marsupialization for internal and combined laryngoceles.
