Özet

Tracheobronchial ruptures following blunt thoracic trauma are rare in children. To our knowledge, there is no reported case of tracheobronchial rupture due to compression under the barrel of a cannon. The involvement of both the trachea and right main bronchus is highly unusual. The case of a 16-year-old boy with both distal tracheal and right main bronchial ruptures following blunt chest trauma is herein reported, in which we emphasize the need for a prompt diagnosis and appropriate management.
