Özet
Although cricoid cartilage fracture is rare because of the firm and stable structure of the cricoid cartilage, it can cause fatal complications. Prompt diagnosis and rapid airway safety are incredibly vital. A 24-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency department due to blunt trauma to the thoracocervical region. The computed tomography taken after the first interventions detected a displaced fracture of the cricoid cartilage. In light of the patient's clinical findings, the patient was treated conservatively and non-surgically with close follow-up of the airway safety.
