    Abstract:
    Our patient sustained a laceration of the membranous portion of the trachea with massive subcutaneous emphysema and pneumothorax after long-term intubation. The patient was successfully operated on within two hours. The importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment in the event of this rare complication and the different causative factors are outlined. The surgical and perioperative ventilation problems are discussed.
