Abstract
Tracheal rupture is a rare but serious complication of both trauma and intubation. Clinical manifestation includes widespread subcutaneous emphysema and respiratory distress. The management is either a surgical repair or conservative. Here we present a rare case of tracheal rupture secondary to trauma that required surgical intervention in a tertiary centre with no in-house thoracic surgeons. To our best of knowledge, this is the first reported case in South East Asia.
