  • Title: Laryngotracheal transection in blunt trauma of the neck.
    Author: Yadav SP, Arora V, Mahajan R, Hooda S.
    Journal: Indian J Chest Dis Allied Sci; 2001; 43(1):43-5. PubMed ID: 11370506.
    Abstract:
    Laryngotracheal injuries are relatively rare following blunt trauma to the neck and chest but results in a high degree of morbidity and mortality. Complete disruption of the trachea is extremely rare and a systematic approach is needed for early diagnosis and management. The symptoms and physical signs do not necessarily correlate with the severity of injury as was observed in the presented cases here. An early diagnosis and surgical exploration is a must for a reasonably favourable outcome.
