| Popis: | Tracheal ruptures are rarely seen and potentially high life-threatening injuries. Cervical tracheal injuries occur due to the penetrant trauma rather than the blunt trauma. On the other hand, total cervical tracheal rupture due to the blunt trauma is so rare. A 32 year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency service with complaints of breathlessness and stridor resulting from a traffic accident. Thorax computed tomography of the patient revealed total cervical tracheal rupture under the cricoid cartilage level. Emergency tracheostomy was opened and distal airway safety was provided in operating room. The patient underwent an anastomosis with Collar's incision and was discharged in 16th days postoperatively without any complication other than hoarseness. |
