ABSTRACT
Cricoarytenoid joint dislocation is not an uncommon complication resulting from intubation trauma or blunt trauma to the neck, yet it has been poorly documented. Hoarseness is the most prevalent symptom, and poor mobility of the vocal fold is the most common sign. It is best evaluated by stroboscopic examination combined with laryngeal electromyography(EMG). Early diagnosis is important for appropriate surgical management and better prognosis. Closed reduction of dislocated joint is the treatment of choice. A case of cricoarytenoid joint dislocation after blunt trauma to the anterior neck is presented with a brief review of literature.
