Tracheal rupture is infrequently reported, but it is considered to be fatal condition. The most common cause of tracheal rupture is neck injury, but, rarely reported after tracheal intubation. We report a 49-year old woman with dyspnea presenting tracheal rupture after endotracheal intubation. It is detected that tracheal rupture with herniation of esophagus at the level of T1 spine by computed tomography and bronchoscopy. We had a successful repair by suturing between tracheal and esophageal wall. The patient was followed up without any complication.
