What are saccular cysts?

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.
