The association between the laryngeal saccule and a laryngocele is an important clinical relationship. Here, we describe this and other clinical correlations of the saccule including infection and carcinoma and suggest that these should be discussed in medical gross anatomy courses. We also briefly present some descriptive information on the anatomy and function of the saccule in humans and other higher primates.

Introduction: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is gaining momentum as a useful mechanism for analyzing obstructive disorders and surgeries in humans and warrants further development for application in equine surgery. While advancements in procedures continue, much remains unknown about the specific impact that different surgeries have on obstructive airway disorders. The objective of this study was to apply CFD analysis to an equine head inhalation model replicating recurrent laryngeal neuropathy (RLN) and four surgical procedures.

Article Synopsis
- - Laryngocele is a rare, benign cyst that develops from the laryngeal saccule, located near the thyroid cartilage and often presents as a neck swelling and voice changes.
- - The report describes a case of a mixed laryngocele treated through transcervical surgical excision.
- - A detailed step-by-step guide for the surgical procedure is included to help standardize the approach for other ENT surgeons.

Article Synopsis
- Laryngocele is a rare condition characterized by an abnormal air-filled dilation in the laryngeal ventricle, mostly occurring unilaterally, with bilateral cases being highly uncommon.
- The article details a case of a 57-year-old male with respiratory distress from bilateral laryngoceles, confirmed through CT imaging, leading to a tracheostomy and successful surgical excision.
- A literature review shows that laryngoceles are often asymptomatic and typically diagnosed around age 50, highlighting the need for timely medical intervention and further research on this condition.

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.
