Abstract

A report is given of a 22-year-old woman who suffered from an external non-penetrating injury to the ventral side of the neck resulting in a rupture of the dorsal pharyngeal wall. She was successfully treated with conservative therapy, i.e. intravenous fluids and conservative therapy, i.e. intravenous fluids and antibiotics. It is concluded that not all cases of pharyngeal rupture due to a blunt external trauma of the neck need surgical treatment.
