RESUMO
Antecedentes: La rotura traqueal completa y la lesión de conducto torácico representan complicaciones raras del trauma torácico cerrado. Método: Se presenta el caso de un paciente con rotura completa de la tráquea asociada a rotura del conducto torácico que fue operado en el Hospital del Trabajador. Discusión y conclusiones: La identificación y el manejo oportuno de estas lesiones disminuyen la morbimortalidad asociada a trauma.
Background: Tracheal rupture and thoracic duct lesion are rare complications of blunt thoracic trauma. Method: We present in this article the case of a patient with complete tracheal rupture and thoracic duct lesion treated in Hospital del Trabajador. Discussion and conclusions: Early identification and prompt management of this conditions reduce morbimortality associated with trauma.

Abstract Tracheobronchial rupture is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication commonly caused by neck and chest trauma. Iatrogenic tracheobronchial rupture can be caused by intubation, tracheostomy, bronchoscopy but also linked to pre-existing primary diseases. Paratracheal air cysts, infrequently described in literature, seem to be associated with obstructive lung disease and weaknesses in right posterior lateral wall of the trachea. We report a case of a paratracheal air cyst rupture in a previous healthy patient.
Resumo A ruptura traqueobrônquica (RTB) é uma complicação rara, mas potencialmente fatal, comumente causada por trauma de pescoço e tórax. A RTB iatrogênica pode ser causada por intubação, traqueostomia, broncoscopia, mas também pode estar relacionada a doenças primárias preexistentes. Os cistos aéreos paratraqueais, raramente descritos na literatura, parecem estar associados à doença pulmonar obstrutiva e fraqueza da parede posterolateral direita da traqueia. Relatamos o caso de uma ruptura de cisto aéreo paratraqueal em paciente previamente saudável.
