Patients frequently require a tracheostomy for a variety of indications, but its prolonged use is associated with several complications, including fracture of the tube. Metallic tracheostomy tubes, which are often used in developing countries, are predisposed to such a complication essentially because of corrosion from prolonged used. We report 2 cases of a fractured tracheostomy tube inserted into the central airways, with different clinical presentations. Fractured pieces were successfully removed using a flexible bronchoscope under topical anesthesia.

Rhinoscleroma is a chronic infectious disease caused by Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis. It initially involves the nasal cavity and can occasionally extend to the rest of the upper respiratory tract. We report a case of rhinoscleroma involving both the larynx and the tracheobronchial tree, presenting with recurrent respiratory infection.
