Traumatic avulsion of the trachea associated with cricoid fracture

DG Ashbaugh and JH Gordon

A 15-year-old girl sustained a cricoid fracture, avulsion of the trachea, and bilateral cord paralysis in a automobile injury. An airway was established by intubation, and primary repair was performed on the day of injury. A postoperative stricture was successfully managed by endoscopic dilatation and injection of triamcinolone into the stricture. Function of one vocal cord appears to be returning 6 months after the injury, and the patient is leading an active life.
