He does not reffer a previous injury. He also shows dysphonia and he does not feel respiratory distress.We can see a soft haematoma and there is not crepitation. In the endoscopy there is a pharingo-larynx haematoma that does not allow you t osee the glotic área. We decide that the patient has to stay ah the hospital given the severity of the diagnosis. He has been treated with corticosteroids. We also ask for help to the haematology service of the hospital.The patient shows clinical improvement and the haematoma finally dissapears.
