Isolated cricoid fracture is encountered rarely during the clinical follow-up. A 71-year-old female patient was referred to emergency service with complaints of fall from height, and urgent tracheotomy was performed due to dyspnea. During the examination, isolated fractures of the cricoid cartilage were identified. With the conservative approach, the patient remained symptom-free and was discharged after decannulation.
