Zusammenfassung

Die Autoren präsentieren den Fallbericht eines 40-jährigen Mannes, der sich in Selbstmordabsicht mehrere Male in die Halstrachea und in den Kehlkopf stach und sich auch weitere penetrierende Verletzungen des Magens und der Leber zufügte. Die präoperativen Untersuchungen mittels flexibler Tracheoskopie und Computertomographie wiesen lediglich ein Durchstechen des Lig. cricothyroideum nach, die weiteren zwei Defekte der Halstrachea wurden erst bei einer operativen Revision aufgedeckt. Alle drei Verletzungen wurden erfolgreich durch Naht versorgt, in einem Fall über einen modifizierten transtrachealen Zugang.

Abstract

The authors present a case of a 40-year-old man who intentionally stabbed himself several times in the trachea and larynx during a suicide attempt, and also inflicted other penetrating injuries of the stomach and liver upon himself. The preoperative examination using fiber-optic tracheoscopy and CT revealed only transection of the ligamentum cricothyroideum; the remaining two defects were discovered later, during the surgical revision. All three injuries were successfully treated with sutures, in one case using the transtracheal approach.
