Tracheobronchial injury results from blunt or penetrating chest trauma and is a rare, but potentially fatal condition. Rupture of the main bronchus or carina by blunt trauma is unusual, and it is one of the most severe injuries in children. The diagnosis of this kind of injury is challenging and requires a high degree of clinical suspicion. Here, we report two cases of total rupture of the main bronchus. Primary repair of the bronchial rupture was performed two weeks after the injury in the first case, and immediately after the injury in the second case.
