    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Emergency Medicine

    Background:

    • Attempted hanging presents complex challenges in emergency medicine.
    • Pharyngeal and laryngeal injuries require specialized diagnostic and management approaches.

    Observation:

    • A case of attempted hanging resulted in significant pharyngeal and laryngeal trauma.
    • The patient's injuries necessitated a comprehensive treatment strategy.

    Findings:

    • Standard laryngeal injury management protocols are applicable.
    • Pharyngeal tears and rare post-suspension syndrome with neurogenic pulmonary edema are critical considerations.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians must be vigilant for less common but severe complications.
    • Multidisciplinary care is essential for optimal outcomes in attempted hanging survivors.
