In children even due to relative resistance of larynx on external trauma, they are not rare. Material of our paper consists children of age 12, 11 and 16 after various laryngeal trauma. Respectively there were traumatic changes after multiple bronchoscopy and lungs cysts operation, laryngeal malformation after dog bits in neck region and larynx trauma in car accident. In all cases the fist symptom was dyspnea and then dysphonia.
