It could present with neck swelling, hoarseness, cough reflex, and stridor. It is classified into internal, external and mixed type. This is a report of a case of mixed laryngocele diagnosed by CT scan in a patient referred for investigation with a history of palpable cervical mass in cervical region apparent only in the presence of an infection. This case report is made to create awareness with regard to diagnosis and management of a laryngocele.
