Acute bleeding caused by rupture of the thyroid gland following blunt neck trauma: case report

H Rupprecht et al. J Trauma. 1994 Mar.

Abstract

We describe a case of blunt neck trauma that resulted in extensive rupture of a normal thyroid gland. Our experience shows that lesions of the thyroid gland must be taken into diagnostic consideration after blunt neck trauma, even in the absence of obvious signs of injury.
