Laryngeal trauma is exceptionally rare due to the protective effect of the mandible and sternum and the laryngotracheal framework’s elastic nature. Trauma to the larynx can be life-threatening and cause not only mortality but longterm upper aerodigestive morbidity.
Here is a case of a 37 year-old male with electric burn of laryngotracheal region.

Keywords: Laryngotracheal, Trauma.
