ABSTRACT
Tracheal rupture is an infrequent complication with high morbidity and mortality, of multifactorial etiology, being orotracheal intubation its main cause. Spontaneous tracheal rupture usually occurs after severe coughing and/or vomiting over a weakened trachea. The diagnosis is non-specific, based on highly suggestive signs and symptoms such as subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum and respiratory distress, and its confirmation requires the performance of a bronchoscopy. The location and extent of the rupture determines the clinic. This implies the importance of an early diagnosis to avoid a poor prognosis. We present the case of an elderly male patient with a spontaneous tracheal rupture without apparent cause
RESUMEN
La rotura traqueal es una complicación infrecuente de etiología multifactorial, con una elevada morbimortalidad, la intubación orotraqueal es su principal causa. La rotura traqueal espontánea suele producirse luego de toser o presentar vómitos intensos, sobre una tráquea debilitada. El diagnóstico es inespecífico, se basa en signos y síntomas altamente sugestivos como enfisema subcutáneo, neumomediastínico y dificultad respiratoria y su confirmación exige la realización de una broncoscopia. La localización y extensión de la rotura determinan la clínica. Esto implica la importancia del diagnóstico precoz para evitar un pronóstico infausto. Se presenta el caso de un paciente varón, de edad avanzada. con una rotura espontánea traqueal sin causa aparente
