This paper aims to discuss a case series of sports-related blunt laryngeal trauma patients and describe the results of a thorough literature review.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215117001220_sec_a2\"><jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Retrospective case-based analysis of laryngeal trauma referrals over six years to a tertiary laryngology centre.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215117001220_sec_a3\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty-eight patients were identified; 13 (46 per cent) sustained sports-related trauma. Most were young males, presenting with dysphonia, some with airway compromise (62 per cent). Nine patients were diagnosed with a laryngeal fracture. Four patients were managed conservatively and nine underwent surgery. Post-treatment, the majority of patients achieved good voice outcomes (83 per cent) and all had normal airway function.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215117001220_sec_a4\"><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sports-related neck trauma can cause significant injury to the laryngeal framework and endolaryngeal soft tissues, and most cases require surgical intervention. Clinical presentation may be subtle; a systematic approach along with a high index of suspicion is essential, as early diagnosis and treatment have been reported to improve airway and voice outcome.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022215117001220","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,9]],"date-time":"2017-06-09T06:26:45Z","timestamp":1496989605000},"page":"728-735","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Blunt laryngeal trauma secondary to sporting injuries"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"131","author":[{"given":"D","family":"Mendis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J A","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348940511400505"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2004.015735"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0952-8180(91)90003-6"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348948909800203"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200409000-00009"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref5","first-page":"1363","article-title":"Advanced trauma life support (ATLS\u00ae): the ninth edition","volume":"74","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Trauma Acute Care Surg"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-198606000-00013"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.CSMR.0000308673.53182.72"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02479954"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"105","DOI":"10.1177\/0310057X9302100126","article-title":"Traumatic tracheal transection","volume":"21","author":"Waldron","year":"1993","journal-title":"Anaesth Intensive Care"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.24893"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005373-198810000-00005"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.24068"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3349\/ymj.2012.53.5.992"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref10","first-page":"230","article-title":"Approach to the patient with external laryngeal trauma: the Schaefer classification","volume":"6","author":"Omakobia","year":"2016","journal-title":"Otolaryngol (Sunnyvale)"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.TA.0000082650.62207.92"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00016480701477636"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1992.01880060046013"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1997.01900010093014"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref21","first-page":"181","article-title":"Laryngotracheal trauma","volume":"58","author":"Minard","year":"1992","journal-title":"Am Surg"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200209000-00031"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0892-1997(99)80045-9"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejrad.2013.10.021"},{"key":"S0022215117001220_ref23","volume-title":"Laryngology, Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Series","author":"Sandhu","year":"2014"}],"container-title":["The Journal of Laryngology &amp; Otology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/services\/aop-cambridge-core\/content\/view\/S0022215117001220","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,17]],"date-time":"2019-04-17T18:56:20Z","timestamp":1555527380000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/product\/identifier\/S0022215117001220\/type\/journal_article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,9]]},"references-count":24,"journal-issue":{"issue":"8","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2017,8]]}},"alternative-id":["S0022215117001220"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/s0022215117001220","relation":{},"ISSN":["0022-2151","1748-5460"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0022-2151","type":"print"},{"value":"1748-5460","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,9]]}}}
