title: [Posttraumatic laryngotracheal separation].
abstract: Laryngotracheal trauma is rare and may lead to airway obstruction and life-threatening situations. We present a case report of laryngotracheal separation after a horse riding accident. In this case, early intubation secured the respiratory passage and the life of the patient.
