Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the neck revealed a nondisplaced vertical fracture of the right thyroid ala, subcutaneous air in the anterior cervical fascial planes, and edema of the right true vocal fold ( Figure 1 ).
Flexible fiber-optic laryngoscopy examination demonstrating resolving mucosal
hemorrhage: (A) day of presentation, (B) 5-day follow-up, and (C) 2-month
follow-up. Note edema and hemorrhage of right vocal fold upon initial
presentation that improves at 5-day follow-up and is completely resolved at
2-month follow-up.
