Abstract

We report a case of subglottic stenosis by blunt neck trauma. Preoperative CT showed a stenosis extending distally from just below the vocal cords for 4cm. Concomittent bilateral vocal cords paralysis and quadriplegia were present. At operation the lesion was severely adhesed and the lumen was nearly obstructed. The recurrent laryngeal nerves were embedded in fibrous tissue and were not identified at ease. The stenosed segment was resected and direct end-to-end anastomosis with preservation of the recurrent laryngeal nerves was performed. Six months latar he discharged with intermediate position of vocal cord paralysis.
