Bronchial rupture is a rare and serious complication of blunt chest trauma in children. The diagnosis of this injury is challenging and requires a high degree of clinical suspicion. It is frequently associated with other severe injuries that may draw the focus of attention away from this potentially catastrophic but treatable injury. The radiographic findings of bronchial rupture have been reported in very few series. We report the findings in two children with bronchial rupture diagnosed by CT, in whom CT resulted in a significant change in patient management.
支气管破裂是儿童钝性胸部创伤中一种罕见且严重的并发症。这种损伤的诊断具有挑战性，需要高度的临床怀疑。它常与其他严重损伤相关，这些损伤可能会将注意力从这种潜在的灾难性但可治疗的损伤上转移开。关于支气管破裂的影像学表现仅有极少数系列报道。我们报告了两名经CT诊断为支气管破裂的儿童的病例结果，CT检查使这两名患儿的治疗管理发生了重大改变。
