Abstrakt: The authors present an unusual case of upper airway obstruction due to the presence of bilateral communicating laryngoceles. The use of aspiration techniques on the larger of the laryngoceles resulted in a significant improvement in upper airway function. This improvement avoided the need for a tracheostomy or intubation under potentially hazardous circumstances and allowed the eventual surgery to take place in more controlled conditions.
