Abstract
- A case of tracheal rupture due to orotracheal intubation performed for anaesthesiological procedures is described. It is very likely that this rare complication was favoured by some anatomical factors, which were responsible for a difficult intubation. Tracheal rupture was diagnosed by endoscopy and treated by a decompressive tracheostomy.
