ABSTRACT

The incidence of tracheobronchial lesions is 1-2% of reported lesions in high-energy accidents. The majority of them are men under 40 years, with a male-to-female ration of 3:1, the right side is the most affected. This lesion has a very high mortality rate. Diagnosis of tracheal injury in polytraumatized patient leads to early treatment and better prognosis. Here we present a case of a young man with tracheal trauma after a car accident and a review of the published literature.
