Fractures of the larynx are uncommon injuries that may be associated with maxillofacial trauma. Clinicians treating maxillofacial injuries should be familiar with the signs and symptoms of laryngeal fractures and with proper airway management. A timely evaluation of the larynx, rapid airway intervention, and proper surgical repair are essential for a successful outcome.
