Home Laryngeal Trauma: Rare Clinical Case

Abstract

Laryngeal traumas in children are quite rare due to the anatomical features and properties of cartilaginous tissue. However, we cannot rule out possible damage to the larynx in case of impact injury in the neck area. The symptoms can develop later, several hours after the injury up to a life-threatening state.
