The authors consider the problems raised by severe closed laryngotracheal trauma and report 4 cases. -the immediate tisk to life is due to direct involvement of the respiratory tract requiring emergency measures including cardiorespiratory resuscitation in cases of acute asphyxia. -the origin of the initial respiratory distress, if not obvious from the start, may be suspected in view of the difficulties or impossibility of tracheal intubation, which is also liable to aggravate lesions due to trauma. It is one of these rare cases of resuscitation where emergency tracheotomy is essential. It permits also early, precise surgical exploration. -in cases of fracture of the larynx, a wound of the trachea or rupture and separation of the trachea, the reconstruction must be constructiononstruction must be considered within the first 48 hours. Provision of food and resting of the larynx may be conciliated by installing an esophageal catheter or performing a gastrostomy. Benign trauma, such as contusion or laryngeal commotion, requires close supervision association with medical treatment designed to prevent the onset of lesional oedema.
