    AbstractThe case of a 75-year-old women with probable tracheal laceration and tension pneumomediastinum after intubation is reported. A dramatic reduction of tracheal caliber was observed during fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Despite severe dyspnea, the patient healed with conservative measures. We conclude that aggressive surgical treatment for tracheal laceration is not always necessary.
