Life Threatening Laryngeal Injury in Elite Rugby Union: Prevention and
management
Abstract
Laryngeal injury is a life-threatening risk in contact sports.
Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) can occur as a result of
trauma. Athletes can return to monitored training within weeks of
laryngeal surgery. Due to the rarity and complexity of laryngeal trauma
in sport, effective management requires a multidisciplinary approach.
