Neck injuries can become life-treating disease mainly thanks to a probable airways obstruction. Airway management in such cases ranks in thecategory of the "difficult airways". This presentation deals with kinds of the neck injury, their typical symptoms, especially with regard to possibleairways injury. Adequate airway management in patients with the neck injury remains the first priority. We present a survey of kinds of the airwaysmanagement, their benefit and risk.
