Abstract
Isolated laryngeal fractures quite rarely can occur following trauma to the neck region, but because of the variety and dynamic growth of symptoms or possible injury of the main structures on the neck may be life-threatening. The appropriate treatment of these patients is quick surgical intervention proceeded by imaging techniques. Here we report the cases of three patients treated in our Department between 2009 and 2012: two of them with penetrating injury and one with blunt trauma. The appropriate treatment of these patients requires that airway patency be the first priority and if possible quick reconstruction. These cases illustrate the individualized treatment and multidisciplinary approach in managing such cases.
