A 28-year-old man had a transection of the intrathoracic trachea in a
head-on collision. Prompt diagnosis with a flexible bronchoscope,
expeditious thoracotomy, and distal tracheal intubation proved lifesaving
and allowed for meticulous repair of the disrupted trachea. The patient is
asymptomatic 1 year later.
