title: Tracheal rupture in two horses.
abstract: Two horses were admitted for evaluation of diffuse SC emphysema. Diagnosis of ruptured trachea was made by tracheoscopy and radiography. The tracheal cartilages were not involved in either case. One of the defects was small and responded to medical management. The other defect was large and was apposed surgically. Both horses recovered without complications.
