Trauma to the larynx from external forces is rare, occurring in 1 in 22,900 emergency visits. Prompt airway assessment is crucial for patients with cervical trauma, hoarseness, or breathing difficulty.

Area of Science:

Emergency Medicine
Otolaryngology
Trauma Surgery

Background:

Laryngeal trauma from external forces is less common than internal trauma from procedures.
It represents a rare but significant cause of airway compromise.

Observation:

External laryngeal trauma occurs with an incidence of approximately 1 in 22,900 emergency room visits.
Key indicators include a history of cervical trauma accompanied by hoarseness, dyspnea, and pain.

Findings:

The rarity of external laryngeal trauma necessitates a high index of suspicion in emergency settings.
Clinical signs like hoarseness, difficulty breathing, and pain are critical alerts for potential laryngeal injury.

Implications:
