Abstract：
Laryngotracheal trauma is a relatively rare traumatic injury seen particularly in young male adults. Trauma due to strangulation is one of its most frequent circumstances. However rare, pneumomediastinum is a particular complication of severe blunt neck injuries leading to alveolar ruptures. This phenomenon, described as the Macklin effect, requires early diagnosis, and its management varies from conservative to surgical treatment depending on the severity of symptoms. Our aim is to describe the case of a 21-year-old male who presented with blunt neck trauma. Clinical and imaging findings revealed subcutaneous neck emphysema and pneumomediastinum. Treatment was conservative leading to complete resolution of the injuries and the patient was discharged after 2 weeks.
