We present a case report of a thyroid fracture after a sneezing episode, with odynophagia, dysphonia, and neck pain. The examination showed oedema at the right vocal cord and haematoma at the right false vocal cord. An anterior thyroid fracture without displacement, and a subcutaneous emphysema could be seen on the CT.

Thyroid fracture because of this aetiology is most exceptional; only 1 similar case report has been described in the literature.

Key words:
Thyroid fracture
Sneezing episode
Laryngeal oedema

Presentamos un caso de fractura del cartílago tiroides tras estornudo, con clínica de disfonía, odinofagia y molestias cervicales. En la exploración presentaba edema de cuerda vocal derecha con hematoma de banda derecha y enfisema subcutáneo cervical. En el estudio con tomografía computarizada (TC) se apreciaba una fractura en línea media del cartílago tiroides sin desplazamiento y enfisema subcutáneo.

La fractura del cartílago tiroides debida a esta etiología es casi excepcional, y sólo se ha descrito un caso más en la literatura científica.

Palabras clave:
Fractura tiroidea
Estornudo
Edema laríngeo
