摘要
Key Clinical Message Bronchial rupture following major blunt chest trauma should be suspected in every case of massive and persistent air leak through the intercostal drain tube. Chest radiogram offers indirect signs, while chest CT scan demonstrates specific signs highly suggestive for this extremely rare tracheobronchial injury. Bedside bronchoscopy confirms the diagnosis.
