Abstract

We report a case of accidental strangulation and crush injury to the anterior neck resulting in laryngeal trauma. This extremely uncommon mechanism of injury provides a safety warning regarding precautions with neck wear, and the unusual resulting injury represents an opportunity to review best practice in management of laryngeal trauma.
