Tracheobronchial rupture is rare and a life threatening injury. Clinical presentations vary as to whether peribronchial tissues remain intact or not. A 30-year-old farmer was evaluated with dyspnea and neck swelling after a work accident due to a neck tie. The patient who was diagnosed with tracheal rupture underwent tracheal resection and reconstruction. He was discharged seven days after the operation. At the 12-month follow-up, the bronchoscopy showed good patency over the anastomotic region.
