Abstract

Fifteen cases of external laryngeal trauma treated at the Princess Alexandra Hospital, Brisbane, over a two-year period are reported. It is suggested the diagnosis may often be overlooked and the extent of injury may be underestimated. Surgical intervention was necessary in nine cases. A more positive approach to the management of external laryngeal trauma with an emphasis on earlier surgical treatment if certain criteria are met, is recommended.
