oa Avulsion of the right main bronchus due to blunt trauma
Abstract
Abstract
Tracheobronchial disruption is an uncommon injury usually associated with severe blunt thoracic trauma. It rarely occurs in isolation. We report a case of isolated avulsion of the right main bronchus occurring after a high-speed car collision with severe head injury. Management of this condition is briefly discussed.
