Isolated hyoid bone fractures secondary to trauma other than strangulation are rare and have few, if any, complications. We report a case of an isolated hyoid bone fracture that resulted in sudden and severe upper airway compromise. Diagnosis of these fractures is difficult and usually can be made only with a strong degree of suspicion. Patients who suffer neck injuries in whom a hyoid fracture is diagnosed or strongly suspected should be observed for 48 to 72 hours, considered for endoscopy, and treated as warranted.
除勒颈外，创伤导致的孤立性舌骨骨折很少见，即便有并发症也很少。我们报告一例孤立性舌骨骨折导致突然且严重的上呼吸道梗阻的病例。这些骨折的诊断很困难，通常只有在高度怀疑时才能确诊。对于诊断为或高度怀疑舌骨骨折的颈部受伤患者，应观察48至72小时，考虑进行内镜检查，并根据需要进行治疗。
