Abstract
Complications of tracheostomy are not rare and are even more common in children. They may be acute or chronic and sometimes may have serious consequences. We report here a rare situation in which a malpositioned tracheal cannula in a false tract from the neck to the mediastinum induced necrosis and rupture of the aorta and of the left carotid artery with fatal hemorrhage.Entities:
