“…1 Blunt external trauma to the neck has been reported to be a more common cause of laryngeal fracture, which results from motor vehicle accidents, sports-related trauma, assault, and strangulation. 5 The major cause of laryngeal fracture is a direct anterior impact on the larynx in a motor vehicle accident such our case. Penetrating trauma is the second leading cause, often due to gunshot or stab wounds to the neck.…”

<p class="abstract">Laryngeal fracture is a rare and potentially fatal traumatic injury. Because of the rarity of this type of injury, many laryngeal fractures are often undiagnosed or poorly managed, leading to significant problems with airway patency, voice production, and swallowing. We report a case of a 49 year old man admitted to the emergency room after a motor cycle accident with cervical trauma. The patient presented with hoarseness, anterior neck pain, cervical subcutaneous emphysema, and increasing respiratory distress that led to the tracheostomy of the patient. The computed tomography (CT) of the neck revealed a comminuted fracture of the thyroid cartilage, a hematoma of the left piriform sinus and cervical subcutaneous emphysema. The three-dimensional CT showed a double fracture of thyroid cartilage with displaced intermediate fragment. The patient underwent an open reduction and internal fixation of the thyroid cartilage with miniplates along with laryngeal stenting. He has no significant swallowing or breathing problem and reasonably good voice 6 months after surgery. We conclude that early diagnosis and appropriate therapy favorably alters the prognosis in terms of long-term voice and airway outcome.</p>

“…It is rare also because severe laryngeal trauma patients die be¬fore reaching a medical facility owing to serious airway compromise or associated multisystem trauma. Thus, a considerable amount of laryngeal fracture cases become under-diagnosed (2,3).…”

“…Titanium is an attractive synthetic material as it is hypoallergenic and comparatively cheap and has an extensive safety profile in other applications such as laryngeal fixation following fracture [29, 30]. Liu et al used a titanium mesh to reconstruct laryngeal defects in nine patients following frontolateral vertical partial laryngectomy for T2 or T3 glottic cancer with the sternohyoid muscle being used to cover the mucosal surface of the mesh and the outer surface covered by omohyoid muscle [31].…”

Purpose of ReviewThis article reviews the latest developments in tissue engineering for the larynx with a specific focus on the treatment of laryngeal cancer.Recent FindingsChallenges in tissue engineering a total larynx can be divided into scaffold design, methods of re-mucosalization, and how to restore laryngeal function. The literature described a range of methods to deliver a laryngeal scaffold including examples of synthetic, biomimetic, and biological scaffolds. Methods to regenerate laryngeal mucosa can be divided into examples that use a biological dressing and those that engineer a new mucosal layer de novo. Studies aiming to restore laryngeal function have been reported, but to date, the optimum method for achieving this as part of a total laryngeal transplant is yet to be determined.SummaryThere is great potential for tissue engineering to improve the treatments available for laryngeal cancer within the next 10 years. A number of challenges exist however and advances in restoring function must keep pace with developments in scaffold design.
