@entity130 after blunt @entity764 is a rare but life-threatening condition. If diagnosed and treated early, the outcome is excellent. We report a case of an 18-year-old @entity1 who sustained a @entity174 of the right femur in a traffic accident. He underwent operation under spinal anesthesia and was discharged home after 2 weeks. Six weeks later, he was readmitted with acute @entity649 , stridor, and drowsiness. Arterial blood gas analysis showed hypercarbia (Pco2 of 80 mm Hg; @entity4095 of 60 mm Hg). He was intubated with difficulty and ventilated. A computed tomographic (CT) scan of the chest showed a very tight supracarinal tracheal stricture. Emergency surgical resection of the tracheal stricture was performed, and an end-to-end @entity254 was fashioned. The @entity1 had an excellent recovery.
