Laryngopyocele: signs on computed tomography

Eur J Radiol. 2000 Jan;33(1):63-5. doi: 10.1016/s0720-048x(99)00079-0.

Abstract

A laryngocele is an air-filled dilation of the saccule of the larynx. An infected laryngocele is called a laryngopyocele. Our experience with a case of laryngopyocele with signs on computed tomography before and after antibiotic therapy is presented since laryngopyocele is more unusual.
