abstract="Laryngeal fracture is a rare but potentially lethal injury. A high degree of suspicion along with an expeditious investigation is warranted to prevent airway complications. The initial assessment of the airway is vital as the patient can suffer a severe anoxic brain injury. If the patient is stable, a computed tomography (CT) scan of the neck should be obtained; this was done urgently for our patient and was managed without any extraneous intervention. We report a case of a 38-year-old man that presented to the emergency room with anterior neck pain after falling onto the back of a paintball gun. The patient was managed conservatively and favorable outcomes were obtained.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
