Imaging Evaluation of Tracheobronchial Injuries

Abstract: Tracheobronchial injuries are a rare but potentially life-threatening cause of respiratory insufficiency, with high mortality rates. For patients with potentially survivable tracheobronchial injuries, imaging in the acute setting plays a key role in demonstrating the injuries and associated complications. The radiologist can improve outcomes by understanding typical injury patterns according to injury mechanism and the influence that imaging findings may have on treatment decisions. Chest radiography and cervi… Show more

“…Fifty-three cases of tracheobronchial fungal infection (tracheobronchial mucormycosis) in adults showed tumor-like changes, and the most common characteristics were broncho-obstruction due to tumor, mucosal necrosis, uneven mucosa, or a mass and bronchial stenosis with mucosal hyperplasia or mucosal heterogeneity ( 34 ). The causes of tracheobronchial stenosis in children with mycotic infection of the trachea and bronchus may be related to the inflammatory injury caused by the infection ( 35 ) or invasive procedures such as tracheal intubation ( 36 ) and bronchoscopy ( 37 ), among others. Though children did not report infection with tracheobronchial fungi after bronchofibroscopy in this study, care still should be taken while performing clinical procedures to avoid tracheal stenosis and re-invasion.…”

“…La laceración traqueobronquial secundaria a la intubación endotraqueal no es común, se documenta en aproximadamente una de cada 20,000 a 75,000 intubaciones. 14 La muerte ocurre en 30% de los pacientes con este tipo de complicación, y 50% de estos casos se da en las primeras dos horas. 5 En cuanto a la anatomía, destacamos que la pared posterior de la tráquea es membranosa predisponiéndola al trauma, cuando la lesión se asocia al dispositivo endotraqueal el sitio de lesión más común es éste.…”

“…Los hallazgos radiológicos incluyen neumotórax bilateral, enfisema subcutáneo masivo (si la lesión involucra la hipofaringe el aire se extiende y diseca la región cervical) 1 y neumomediastino (Figura 2). 8,14,15 Existen algunas imágenes en relación al dispositivo que nos permiten sospechar una ruptura traqueobronquial como la disposición oblicua del tubo con desviación hacia la derecha, y sobredistensión del globo con un diámetro anteroposterior mayor de 2.5 cm. 8,15 Cuando el defecto es significativo y coincide con el nivel de la laceración, el globo mostrará herniación adquiriendo una configuración "en reloj de arena" (ocasionalmente se presenta como complicación de la traqueostomía); 14 esto se puede identificar en la tomografía computarizada hasta en 70 y 100% de los casos.…”
