Abstract
We describe the first reported case of tracheal necrosis following a thyroidectomy. This complication resulted in massive subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum, which required emergency exploration of the neck to decompress the trapped air. We also discuss the suggested etiology and management of this rare condition.Entities:
