[Tracheal injury caused by intubation for compressive endothoracic goiter].
The tube cannot pass along the marked curve of the trachea, which is displaced by a large goiter extending into the posterior mediastinum. The trachea is perforated in a low thoracic location. Tracheal suture and exeresis of the goiter are performed through sternotomia. This serious accident seems to be exceptional. Can it be predicted?
