Patient #	Age	Sex	Necessity of emergency tracheotomy	Laryngoscopic findings	Radiographic findings	Diagnosis
1	59	Male	Yes	Swelling of the left aryepiglottic fold and left false vocal cord	X-ray: large cavity with an air fluid level in the left neck Thawley et al. 10	Combined laryngopyocele

3	51	Male	Yes	Diffuse swelling over the right false cord and aryepiglottic fold	X-ray: right sided neck mass and an air-fluid level Weissler et al. 8	Combined laryngopyocele
4	34	Male	No	A mass originating in the left false cord caused a near total airway obstruction	CT: 18 mm low-attenuation mass within the larynx that caused a significant airway obstruction Fredrickson et al. 9	Internal laryngopyocele
