Abstract
• Bullet wounds involving larynx or trachea frequently prove fatal unless the airway is maintained soon after injury. With modern high-velocity bullets tissue damage is severe and injuries may be multiple. Six cases of high-velocity bullet wounds survived initial injury. The sequelae of the damage to larynx or trachea is discussed and in three patients total laryngectomy was necessary. (Arch Otolaryngol 1984;110:203-205)Keywords
