Post-intubation tracheal rupture treated surgically using a muscle graft from the Latissimus Dorsi: a rare disorder and review of literature.

Introduction: Post-intubation tracheal rupture (PiTR) is an extremely uncommon disorder. Pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, hemorrhage, cutaneous emphysema, and sepsis are common clinical presentations that eventually result in organ failure and mediastinitis. Endoscopy and computed tomography (CT) are considered the gold standards for assessment and diagnosis.
