  • Title: Tracheobronchial injury diagnosed by computed tomography scan: a case report.
    Author: Cosper GH, Dassinger MS.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2009 Mar; 44(3):648-50. PubMed ID: 19302877.
    Abstract:
    Tracheobronchial injuries are uncommon after pediatric blunt trauma. Because they are easily missed and potentially life-threatening, surgeons caring for pediatric patients with trauma should be aware of this spectrum of injuries. We present a case of tracheobronchial injury in a 10-year-old girl caused by blunt trauma sustained during an all-terrain vehicle collision. This injury was diagnosed in a timely fashion with computed tomography scan, and operative repair was accomplished. A discussion of the management of tracheobronchial injury with brief literature review follows.
