Abstract
- A 50-year-old male visited the emergency room due to the cervical edema caused by a traffic accident. At the cervial CT, diagnosis was confirmed as extensive cervical subcutaneous emphysema secondary to tracheal laceration as a thyroid cartilage fracture. The patient showed loss of symptom after conservative treatment. Thyroid cartilage fracture is rare and tracheal laceration as a result of thyroid cartilage fracture has never been reported in the literatures. Thus we herein report this one case.
