Traumatic rupture of the main bronchus is comparatively very rare. With the advent of widespread mechanization and high-speed era, the incidence of traumatic rupture of the tracheobronchial tree has been increased considerably. Rupture of the bronchus is an unusual result of nonpenetrating trauma to the chest. Early recognition of bronchial rupture and emergency thoracotomy and management is essential for reducing of morbidity, mortality and late complications. We experienced 3 cases of bronchial rupture caused by nonpenetrating chest trauma with or without rib fracture. Patients were suffered from dyspnea and chest pain. After closed thoracostomy, corrective surgery was performed. Postoperative courses were uneventful and discharged without any complication.

The injuries to the bronchi have been reported with increasing frequencies. The most common cause of such injuries is compression or crushing chest trauma. Early diagnosis and emergent repair should be done for the good prognosis. We report 3 cases who had bronchial injuries after traffic accident. Our operative procedures were a primary bronchial repair for 17 months old boy, a pneumonectomy for delayed recognition and a bronchoplasty procedure 63 days after trauma. All these bronchial ruptures were successfully treated and discharged.

Rupture of a bronchus is an unusual result of blunt trauma to the chest. We experienced a case of bronchial rupture caused by blunt chest trauma without external wound or rib fracture. This case was a 13 years old male who was elementary school student. He was compressed on anterior chest by basket ball goal post being failed down on the afternoon of admission day. After this accident, he was suffered from progressive dyspnea and chest pain. The bronchial rupture was confirmed by bronchogram, The operation was performed through standard posterolateral thoracotomy incision along the 5th rib course. The right upper lobe bronchus and intermediate bronchus was completely transected. The right upper lobectomy was done. The ruptured intermediate bronchus was connected direct simply. Post-operative course was uneventful. Thus we report this case of traumatic bronchial rupture with review of literature.

이중관 튜브(double-lumen tube)로 기관 삽관한 후 발생하는 기관지 파열은 극히 드문 합병증이다. 우리 는 기관 삽관후에 발생한 좌측 기관지 파열을 치험하였다. 58세 여자 환자로 수술전 검사상 우하엽에 병 기 IIB의 분화가 잘된 악성 선암으로 진단되었다. 환자는 우하엽절제술을 위하여 로버트쇼 튜브 (Robertshaw tube)로 기관 삽관하였고 수술중 종격동 기종과 환기 장애로 인하여 좌측 주기관지의 파열을 발견하였다. 즉시 좌측 개흉술을 시행하여 기관지 파열부위를 흡수성 봉합사(PDS)로 봉합하였으며 수술 후 별다른 문제없이 회복되었다.

Rupture of the main bronchus due to blunt chest trauma is very rare, especially In childhood although the incidence is increasing. Early diagnosis and primary repair not. only restore normal lung function but also avoid the difficulties and complications associated with delayed diagnosis and repair. We experienced 2 cases of right main bronchial rupture caused by traffic accidents. Patients suffered from progressively developing dyspnea and subcutaneous emphysema on the neck, anteriorchest,andanteriorabdominalwall. Emergency operations were performed through right posterolateral thoracotomy incision at the 4th intercostal space. Intraoperatively, the right main bronchus completely transsected and separated. Corrective bronchoplasty was performed with end-to-end anastomosis using interrupted suture with 3-0 Vicryle and the suture line was reinforced with azygos vein and parietal pleural flap. Postoperative courses were uneventful and patients discharged without any specific pro lems.

Rupture of a bronchus is an unusual result of nonpenetrating trauma to the chest. This case was a 19 year old male who was a worker in the mine. The patient had sustained a compression chest injury without external wound or rib fracture. At five days after trauma, he was suffered from dyspnea and the symptom was progressively increased. Two weeks after the chest trauma, a diagnosis of left main bronchial obstruction due to traumatic bronchial rupture was made by means of bronchoscopy and bronchography. He was operated upon. The left lung was completely atelectatic and the left main bronchus was found to be transected at the level of 3cm from carina. End-to-end anastomosis of the bronchus was performed and the left lung was aerated very well. postoperative course was uneventful.

Rupture of the main bronchus followed by blunt chest trauma is comparatively very rare. Early recognition of bronchial rupture and emergency thoracostomy and management is essential for reducing of morbidity and mortality and late complications. This case was 11 years old female who was a primary school student. The patient was sustained a crushing injury to her right hemithorax by traffic accident and had been taken emergency closed thoracostomy at her second intercostal space, midclavicular line at emergency room. In the course of the next 2 hours, the girl`s condition remained critical with tension pneumothorax and abnormal arterial blood gas analysis. Induction of anesthesia started 3 hours after the accident. During the general anesthesia, cardiac arrest was occurred and cardiac resuscitation was performed. Right upper lobectomy and end-to-end anastomosis of ruptured right main bronchus was performed. Postoperative course was satisfactory.

A bronchial artery aneurysm (BAA) is uncommon and usually associated with chronic inflammatory lung disease or a systemic vascular condition, which is rarely the etiology of mediastinal hemorrhage. A middle-aged person presented with spontaneous hemothorax and hemomediastinum. A diagnostic evaluation identified a bronchial artery aneurysm as the source. To prevent further rupture, we performed a bronchial artery embolization. In the absence of trauma or other causes for hemothorax and mediastinal hemorrhage, the possibility of a BAA should be considered. A bronchial artery aneurysm can be managed by interventional techniques as well as surgery.

신경섬유종증 1형 환자에서 혈관 이상에 의한 자발성 출혈은 드물지만, 환자에게 치명적인 결과를 초래할 수 있다. 본 저자들은 신경섬유종증 1형 환자에서 발생한 자발성 종격동혈종에 대한 증례를 소개하고자 한다. 출혈은 동측 쇄골하동맥에서 나오는 이소성 기관지동맥의 파열이 원인이었고, coil과 N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate를 이용한 색전술을 통해 성공적으로 치료하였다.
