Cilj rada: Prikazati postupke liječenja koji su provedeni kod respiratorne insuficijencije uzrokovane miješanom laringokelom. Prikaz slučaja: U članku opisujemo dva bolesnika sa simptomima respiratorne insuficijencije uzrokovane miješanom laringokelom, odnosno laringomukokelom. Kod oba bolesnika smetnje disanja pokušali smo ublažiti punkcijom, što je u slučaju laringomukokele uspjelo. Kod drugog bolesnika učinjena je traheotomija te naknadna operacija laringokele. Zaključak: Bolesniku s laringokelom treba pristupiti individualno ovisno o simptomima. Respiratorne simptome moguće je ublažiti punkcijom i evakuacijom sadržaja. Operacija laringokele vanjskim pristupom omogućuje najbolji prikaz tijela i vrata laringokele, što je uvijet za uspješno izlječenje.
Aim: To report the treatment procedures we have done in respiratory insufficiency caused by a mixed laryngocele. Case report: The paper describes two patients with symptoms of respiratory insufficiency caused by a mixed laryngocele, i.e. laryngomucocele. In both patients we tried to relieve the respiratory distress by needle aspiration which was successful in the case of laryngomucocele. In the second patient, the tracheotomy was performed and the subsequent laryngocele surgery was performed. Conclusion: A patient with laryngocele should be approached individually depending on the symptoms. Respiratory symptoms can be alleviated by needle aspiration and the contents extracted. The laryngocele operation with external access provides the best view of the laryngocele body and neck, which is a condition for successful cure.
