  • Title: [Paratracheal cyst rupture: a differential diagnosis for tracheal rupture].
    Author: Marques J, Henriques AR, Azevedo L, Chalo D, Almeida A.
    Journal: Rev Bras Anestesiol; 2017; 67(2):214-216. PubMed ID: 27692371.
    Abstract:
    Tracheobronchial rupture is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication commonly caused by neck and chest trauma. Iatrogenic tracheobronchial rupture can be caused by intubation, tracheostomy, bronchoscopy but also linked to pre-existing primary diseases. Paratracheal air cysts, infrequently described in literature, seem to be associated with obstructive lung disease and weaknesses in right posterior lateral wall of the trachea. We report a case of a paratracheal air cyst rupture in a previous healthy patient.
