“…However, seemingly minor insults to the anterior neck can cause posterior compression of the larynx and can result in airway compromise. [9][10][11] The CT scan is described as an important imaging modality to rule out cervical spine fracture. Although there was no significant blunt force, the cervical spine was exposed to hyperflexion forces.…”

“…Another important potential consequence is long-term injury to the vocal cords, with subsequent speech difficulties. 11 Computed tomography can visualize the thyroid fracture, but many authors point out that visualization of the vocal cords, with nasopharyngeal laryngoscopy or other modality, is an important adjunct to the CT scan. [9][10][11] Otolaryngologist consultation should be strongly considered.…”

A n isolated thyroid cartilage fracture is very rare. 1-5 More interestingly, an isolated thyroid cartilage fracture from a wrestling injury, especially in a non-sports competition context, such as horseplay, has not been previously reported in the literature. Sports-related injuries to the larynx and related structures are uncommon. 6,7 Case A 38-year-old man presented with a complaint of throat pain after wrestling at home, in horseplay, with his 15-year-old son. He reported that when his son placed a choke hold on him, he felt a "crack" in the area of his neck, and soon afterwards felt throat pain with swallowing, along with discomfort with breathing. He also felt a sensation of "fluid building up in his throat." There were no changes noted with his voice and the patient was speaking in full sentences. There was no wheezing or stridor. He de

Isolated comminuted fracture of the cricoid cartilage and narrowing of the airway after a traumatic blunt injury of the neck: a case report

2022

Background Blunt trauma to the anterior of the neck may compromise the vital structures like major blood vessels, trachea, larynx, pharynx, thyroid, spine, esophagus, and the cricoid. Laryngeal trauma is rare and accounts for 1% of all neck blunt traumas. Cricoid trauma is also very rare and accounts for half of the laryngeal traumas, and the diagnosis is frequently missed. Case presentation A 43-year-old man, with blunt neck trauma after being hardly hit by a crane lifting hook, was referred to the Shahid Beheshti Hospital. The patient complained of dysphonia (hoarseness) and dyspnea. The CT scans showed a comminuted fracture of the left anterior arch of the cricoid cartilage with left-sided mucosal thickening, inflammation, and edema which was extended to the glottis, causing a narrowing of the airway. Direct fiber-optic laryngoscopy revealed swelling and congestion in the epiglottis and swelling at the level of the left vocal cord. Conclusion This case report highlights the conservative treatment of isolated cricoid cartilage fracture in the setting of low-energy blunt trauma. The patient was clinically stable and treated conservatively with oxygen therapy and silence therapy (complete silence).

The most common definition of forensic science is the application of science to solve legal cases. In order to establish or rule out a connection between a suspect and a crime scene, forensic scientists analyze evidence collected from the crime scene, using multidisciplinary scientific methods (physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, medicine, psychology, sociology, etc.). The identification of the sample and determination of whether two or more objects share a similar origin have been accomplished in forensic science using a variety of analytical techniques from past to present. However nowadays, with the developing technology, new methods that are more sensitive and easy to use are preferred. One of these techniques is Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). In forensic studies, LIBS is used to examine materials like counterfeit money, drugs, explosives, fingerprints, gunshot residue, ink, paper, hair, paint, glass, etc. On the other hand, it is more useful method compared to other methods due to the absence or simplicity of sample preparation, easy to operate, allowing the analysis of major, minor or trace elements and giving rapid results. This paper presents a review of the application of LIBS in forensic chemistry and the analytical results obtained with LIBS.
