We encountered a 47-year-old motorcyclist surviving a traffic accident presenting with hemoptysis, hoarsensee, and progressive stridor. After emergency tracheotomy, fiberoptic endoscopy revealeld postcricoid mucosa laceration, bruise in posterior pharyngeal wall, and diffuse laryngeal edema, which were compatible with padded dash syndrome. Besides esophageal perforation was excluded by Gastrografin esophagogram. Conventional CT scan showed fractures in bilateral thyroid ala, while 3-D image reconstruction clearly demonstrated H-shape fracture line around the thyroid notch. The latter proved to predict the operative finding much deter. Laryngeal reconstruction was performed on the 7th day follows: (1) Laryngofissure and repair of mucosa and cartilage; (2) Mucosa tenting sutures to prevent recollapse of lumen; (3) Montgomery silicone T-tube of 13 mm outer diameter used as stent; (4) Closure of skin layer only, leaving the underlying soft tissue layer unapproximated. He was decannulated 8 weeks later and the follow-up thereafter has been over 7 months. The airway patency was fully adequate and categorized as “good”. The voice was hoarse but readily intelligible and of moderate volume, categorized as “fair”. The diagnostic facilities, operation timing and methods, together with the options of stents were discussed elaboratively in the text.
