Congenital laryngocele is an uncommon cause of neonatal stridor. There are only a
few cases reported in the literature. The authors present a successfully treated case
of an infant, whose life could only be saved by urgent tracheostomy. On the 5th postoperative
day endoscopic excision and marsupialization provided patent airway. The patient could
be decannulated. During follow-up no recurrence was observed.
