Laryngeal trauma

Laryngeal trauma refers to injury to the voice box (larynx), which is located in the neck and helps us breathe, speak, and swallow. Such injuries can result from accidents like blows to the throat, falls, or strangulation. Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, hoarseness, pain, or swelling in the neck. Severe trauma can damage the airway or vocal cords, risking breathing problems. Prompt medical evaluation and treatment are critical to ensure proper healing and to prevent complications, such as airway obstruction or long-term voice issues.
