Also known as: congenital saccular cysts, laryngeal saccular cysts, laryngoceles.
The larynx is another term for the voice box in the throat. The saccule is a portion of the larynx that produces mucus to lubricate it. When cysts form in the saccule, they are known as saccular cysts.
The exact cause of saccular cysts is not known. They are a defect that is present at birth.
Common symptoms of saccular cysts include difficulty breathing or noisy breathing, trouble feeding, a weak cry and hoarseness.
Saccular cysts are typically removed as soon as possible with a surgical procedure.
