Özet
Bronchial rupture due to tracheobronchial trauma is a very rare condition. Early evaluation is neccessary in order to avoid irreversible changes such as fibrosis and bronchial stenosis. Cases with post-traumatic hemo-pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, subcutaneous emphysema and atelectasis require consideration of bronchial laceration with urgent bronchoscopy and early surgery, if needed. A 15 year-old patient with a history of blunt chest trauma two years ago presented with symptoms of pulmonary infection. Radiological and bronchoscopic evaluation revealed right upper lobe atelectasis secondary to fibrosis. Patient underwent right upper lobectomy.
