Description

<p>　　Blunt laryngotracheal injury is a rare type of injury that is potentially life-threatening. Here, we report a case of open blunt laryngotracheal injury due to compression by a helmet strap. A midline incision was made to open the anterior transverse neck wound. Fractured right lamina of the thyroid cartilage and the laryngotracheal injury were observed. An endotracheal tube was intubated via the laryngotracheal injury, and laryngotracheal injury across the vocal cord was confirmed. This case highlights the need for confirmation of an injury and surgical airway management by approaching the midline incision with a high level of suspicion for severe laryngotracheal injury.</p>
