Abstract
We present six patients with laryngocoeles , one of whom presented as an emergency to a Chest Unit. A swelling in the neck was present in five, two patients had hoarseness progressing to stridor and three complained of dysphagia. No underlying cause was found in any of the patients. Surgical management was necessary in five with good results.
