[Laryngeo-tracheal contusion caused by a seat belt]
Abstract
The authors report cases of laryngo-tracheal rupture due to seat belts. They analyse the mechanisms, the clinical and radiological signs of these lesions. Although these lesions are rare, they should be recognised by medical teams when called to treat injured patients. It is, in fact, at this level that emergency treatment must be carried out, although difficult, this alone permits one to save a certain number of injured patients from asphyxia.
