Abstract
Parenchymal organ rupture is a serious emergency condition most commonly occurring in abdominal or thoracic viscera, whereas blunt neck trauma affecting the thyroid is rarely documented. We present the case of a 43-year-old male who sustained a blunt cervical trauma and presented with neck haematoma, respiratory discomfort, and hoarseness. The diagnosis of thyroid gland rupture of the left lobe was made via ultrasonography and computed sonography scans. The patient was admitted to the hospital for close monitoring and was managed conservatively. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged in good health after seven days.
