“…4 Several mechanisms have been reported that result in blunt laryngeal trauma, including ''steering wheel'' and ''handlebar'' injuries, attempted suicides by hanging and strangulation. 1 O'Connor et al analysed a number of case series involving 133 patients with laryngeal trauma and revealed that the most common sign or symptom is hoarseness, which occurred in 54% of presenting patients, followed by neck tenderness (53%), subcutaneous emphysema (43%), respiratory distress (38%), dysphagia (32%) and haemoptysis (26%). 4 Given the potential complications of a missed injury, patients with any of these presentations in the setting of blunt trauma to the neck should be considered to have a laryngeal injury until proven otherwise.…”

“…In addition, intubation may create further trauma to the larynx and may cause complete airway obstruction. 1 O'Connor et al believe that orotracheal intubation is appropriate in patients with normal anatomy on fibre-optic examination, 4 whereas a review by Atkins et al suggest that a surgical airway should be considered in all patients. 1 The management of a compromised airway in blunt laryngeal trauma remains controversial.…”

“…Delayed attempts at repair tend to have a greater rate of complication such as poorer lung function, an increased risk of empyema and hilar abscess [10]. Indications for surgical exploration include airway obstruction requiring tracheostomy are uncontrolled subcutaneous emphysema, extensive mucosal lacerations with exposed cartilage as identified on bronchoscopic or laryngoscopic examination, vocal cord paralysis, and grossly deformed, multiple or displaced fractures of the larynx, thyroid cartilage, or cricoid cartilage [11].…”

“…To do so would risk dehiscence of the repair or late stenosis. For similar reasons, the tracheostomy should never be exited from the suture line of the repair itself [11].…”

“…[11] En çok görülen diğer belirtiler cilt altı amfizem, larengeal kontur kaybı, ekimoz ve larengeal yapılarda hassasiyettir. [12] Ök-sürük ve kanama endolarengeal yapıların düzeninin bozulduğunu gösterebilir. Bununla beraber hastaların %25'inde hiçbir inceleme bulgusu olamayabilir.…”
