    Abstract:
    Iatrogenic injuries of the trachea are rare. We report a case of tracheobronchial rupture in a 77-year-old woman after emergency intubation. Early bronchoscopy showed a rupture of the posterior wall of the trachea into the right main bronchus with a total length of 9.5 cm. A right thoracotomy was performed and the tracheal rupture was managed successfully by primary suture. Surgical treatment and possible causes of this lesion are discussed with reference to the literature.
