Vertebral body alignment and vertebral body height is maintained. No cervical spine fracture.
Small incidental right-sided external laryngocoele. It appears to extend superiorly around the hyoid bone and communicating with the right vallecula representing a pharyngocoele. No laryngeal mucosal lesion identified at the opening of the ventricle.
Large CSF density space anterior to the left temporal pole likely represents an arachnoid cyst.
Case Discussion
This is a peculiar case of a combined laryngocoele and pharyngocoele.
