The traditional treatment of cricoid cartilage fractures concurrent with subglottic stenosis in pediatric patients usually requires an open approach with a high rate of complications and morbidity. We present here a case report of a successful treatment of a cricoid cartilage fracture concurrent with a subglottic stenosis in an adolescent patient using balloon dilation. The mentioned procedure reduced the fracture and allowed us to prevent a tracheostomy and its complications.
小儿患者环状软骨骨折合并声门下狭窄的传统治疗通常需要采用开放手术，并发症和发病率较高。我们在此报告一例青少年患者环状软骨骨折合并声门下狭窄，采用球囊扩张术成功治疗的病例。上述手术复位了骨折，使我们得以避免气管切开术及其并发症。
