[Clinical and pathophysiological features of traumatic stenosis of the right main bronchus--case report].

Introduction: Severe blunt injury of the chest can cause rupture of the tracheobronchial tree. After completed management of the injury, stenosis of the bronchi may develop at the site of the rupture. Such condition is associated with pathophysiolocical disorders, which then indicates to the possible presence of the bronchial stenosis.

[Thoracic surgery in solving enormous elevation of the left hemidiaphragm].

Background: Acquired elevation of the diaphragm is mostly the result of phrenic nerve paralysis, some of thoracic and abdominal patological states, and also some of neuromuscular diseases. Surgical treatment is rarely performed and is indicated when lung compression produces disabilitating dyspnea, and includes plication of diaphragm. The goal of this case report has been to show completely documented diagnostic procedures and surgical treatment one of rare pathological condition.

Background: [corrected] Descending necrotizing mediastinitis (DNM) is an acute, serious, septic disease which results from a complication of oropharyngeal infection. The disease requires a prompt diagnosis and radical surgical treatment to reduce high mortality (40%). The optimal form of mediastinal drainage remains conroversial.

[Stenosis of the right major bronchus from blunt trauma].

Background: A severe blunt injury to the chest might cause rupture of the tracheobronchial tree. A certain time following the management of the injury, stenosis of the bronchi may develop at the site of the rupture.

Case Report: We reported a patient injured in a traffic accident.
