Abstract

Cervical tracheal rupture is one of the rare injuries after blunt chest trauma, and this can be explained by several mechanisms. Early diagnosis and treatment of tracheal rupture after trauma can reduce the mortality and morbidity. We report here on a surgical experienced case of complete rupture of the cervical tracheal that was due to increased intra-tracheal pressure after a compression injury to the chest of an 8 years old child. We also include a review of the literature.

흉부 압박상에 의한 경부 기관의 파열은 매우 드물게 발생하며, 여러 가지 기전에 의해 설명되고 있다. 기관 손상을 받은 많은 환자는 병원에 도착하기 전에 사망하기 때문에 빠른 진단에 의한 치료는 예후를 결정하는 데 매우 중요하다. 교통사고에 의한 흉부 압박상으로 호흡곤란을 주소로 내원한 8세의 남아에서 발생한 경부 기관의 완전파열 1예를 조기 진단하여 수술치험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
