Abstract

Fractures of the hyoid bone are very rare. Diagnosis of hyoid fracture is difficult and can be made only with a strong degree of suspicion. We report a case of isolated hyoid bone fracture due to blunt trauma to the neck. A 26-year-old woman was admitted to emergency department for motor vehicle accident. She complained of dysphagia and anterior neck discomfort. Physical examination showed hyperemia and tenderness of neck. A tomographic scan of neck was performed. The findings demonstrated hyoid fracture. Patient was observed with medical therapy for 24 hours and discharged with recommendation of outpatient control. Emergency physician has to be aware of the possibility of hyoid fractures in blunt traumas. Patients with hyoid fracture should be observed for 24 hours. Generally, medical treatment is satisfactory in isolated hyoid fractures.

Özet

Hiyoid kemik kırıkları nadir görülür. Hiyoid kemik kırığının tanı konması zor olup, yüksek şüphe ile tanısı konulabilir. Bu yazıda, künt travmaya bağlı gelişen izole hiyoid kırığı olgusu sunuldu. Yirmi altı yaşında kadın hasta araç içi trafik kazası kazası sonucu acil servisimize başvurdu. Hasta yutma güçlüğü, boyunda ağrı ve rahatsızlık hissin- den şikayetçiydi. Fiziksel incelemede boyunda hiperemi ve hassasiyet mevcuttu. Boyun bilgisayarlı tomografisi çekilen hastada hiyoid kırığı gözlendi. Hastaya ilaç tedavisi uygulanarak 24 saat gözlendi. Poliklinik kontrolü önerilerek taburcu edildi. Acil hekimi, künt travmalarda hiyoid kırığı oluşma riskini dikkate almalıdır. Hiyoid kırıklı hastalar 24 saat gözlenmelidir. Genellikle bu hastalar için ilaç tedavisi yeterli sonuçları vermektedir.
