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.
