[Laryngeal insufficiency as a post-traumatic complication of facial skull injury].
Laryngeal incompetence is characterised by incoordination in deglutition and fluid leakage around the tracheostomy tube. It occurs very rarely and is attributed to injury of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. To our experience this condition demands no treatment and gradually disappears. In this paper we present a case of a 24-year-old male patient with facial fractures presenting laryngeal incompetence.
