Tracheobronchial injuries are rare in trauma patients, and most often occur after motor vehicle accidents. Occasionally, other mechanisms cause airway disruption. The pliability of the chest wall in children greatly adds to the differences in injuries when compared with adult trauma patients. We present the case of a six-year old girl with an isolated right-sided bronchial rupture after direct trauma to the chest.
