Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIM: Cricotracheal separation is a rare injury with fatal results in most cases. Clear guidelines are not available and several dilemmas are to be faced during patient management in such cases.DESCRIPTION OF CASE: We present a case of cricotracheal separation with multiple cricoid fractures in a 16-year-old male with blunt neck trauma.CONCLUSION: Early recognition based on an index of clinical suspicion is necessary in order to establish this rare diagnosis. Intervention should preserve the laryngeal function as much as possible.
