Abstract

Blunt laryngeal trauma is a relatively uncommon but possibly life-threatening injury. An isolated cricoid fracture associated with blunt trauma is rare. We report a case of an isolated multiple fragmented cricoid cartilage fracture that developed in a 20-year-old man after a blunt neck trauma that occurred during a baseball game and was diagnosed by 64-slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT).

경부 외상은 드물지만 치명적이다. 윤상연골에 국한된 골절은 더욱 드물다. 저자들은 20세 남자환자에서 야구 경기 중에 야구공에 맞아 발생한 경부 둔상 후에 시행한 64-다절편 전산화단층활영(MDCT)에서 윤상연골에 국한된 다발성골절을 경험하였기에 이 소견을 보고하고자 한다.
