ABSTRACT

Introduction: The fracture of the hyoid bone is extremely rare (0.002% of all fractures), and may present complications such as pharyngeal laceration, dyspnea, dysphagia and pseudoaneurysm of the external carotid, so its prompt identification and treatment should be performed. The case of a 23-year-old patient who suffered a car accident during acts of the service, causing moderate cranioencephalic trauma, pneumothorax, panfacial fracture and hyoid bone fracture is reported. The patient received an initial emergency treatment consisting of placement of the pleural catheter and tracheostomy and on the 4th day of the trauma a surgical medical treatment was performed consisting of decompressive craniotomy and cranialization of both frontal sinuses and open reduction plus internal fixation with osteosynthesis material of facial fractures. The fracture of the hyoid bone was managed conservatively and currently the patient is asymptomatic in relation to speech, swallowing and cervical hyperextension movements. Objective: To present the case of a fracture of the hyoid bone in relation to a panfacial fracture that was treated at the Central Military Hospital. Design: Report of a clinical case. Results: Report of the 32nd case of fracture of the hyoid bone and the 3rd in relation to a panfacial fracture.
