Sumario:HISTORY: A 21-year-old female was injured by accidental strangulation. Dyspnea and stridor occurred with delay, and led to emergency intubation. FINDINGS: Physical examination showed strangulation marks and neck emphysema. Computed tomography confirmed laryngotracheal separation and revealed misplacement of the ventilation tube. DIAGNOSIS: Further surgical exploration revealed complete laryngotracheal (cricotracheal) separation. TREATMENT: After initial emergency tracheotomy, cricotracheal reanastomosis was achieved by a two-stage surgical approach. CONCLUSION: Laryngotracheal separation is associated with high mortality. In the case presented herein, the patient survived and was discharged from hospital without a tracheostomy tube despite bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy.
