Abstract

Tracheal rupture following endotracheal intubation is an extremely rare emergency that needs expedient diagnosis and treatment. The clinical and radiological features of postintubation tracheal rupture in a 45-year-old woman who underwent vertebral stabilization are described. Primary suture closure was performed successfully via a cervical approach. © 2001 SAGE Publications.
