[Uncommon tracheal trauma. Diagnosis and treatment].
The trauma of the trachea and bronchi are extremely rare, in 0.6 to 3 per cent of the patients with chest trauma. Most common are the longitudinal lesions localized in the membranous part. Following are the transversal lesions localized between two cartilaginous rings and in 20 per cent of the cases total circular lesions with dislocation of the two ends are found. A review of the clinical signs, the complications, the diagnosis and the successful operative treatment of a patient with the latter particularly rare traumatic injury of the trachea is presented.
