Abstract
A case of traumatic transection of the thyroid gland with secondary substantial hematoma and respiratory distress is presented. Hemorrhage into the altered thyroid gland is well known. However, there are only a few reports of severe hemorrhage associated with trauma. A short review of the literature is given and the mechanism of trauma is discussed.Entities:
