Introduction: Postentubation tracheobronchial rupture is a rare serious complication.
Case report: In a case of 50 years-old woman, right diaphragmatic elevation causing dyspnea and chest pain complaints was found and right thoracotomy was applied for diaphragm plication. In the case entubated with left side endobronchial intubation tube, mediastinal emphysema occurred during the operation and rupture was found in membranous part of the left main bronchi. Bronchial rupture was repaired primary and the patient was discharged without any complications on the 8th day of postoperative.
Conclusion: Taking out style as soon as the tip of the tube passes vocal cords will lower the risk of rupture in the intubations with double lumen endobronchial tubes. In such cases positive results are found with perioperative diagnosis and early primary repair.

Giriþ: Postentübasyon trakeobronþiyal rüptür nadir görülen ciddi bir komplikasyondur.
Olgu sunumu: 50 yaþýndaki kadýn olguda nefes darlýðý ve göðüs aðrýsý þikâyetlerine neden olan sað hemidiyafragma elevasyonu saptanmýþ ve diyafragma pilikasyonu amacýyla sað torakotomi yapýlmýþtýr. Sol çift lümenli endobronþiyal entübasyon tüpü ile entübe edilen olguda operasyon esnasýnda mediastinal amfizem geliþmiþ ve sol ana bronþ membranöz kýsmýnda rüptür saptanmýþtýr. Bronþiyal rüptürün primer olarak tamir edildiði olgu postoperatif 8. günde sorunsuz olarak taburcu edilmiþtir.
Sonuç: Çift lümenli endobronþiyal entübasyon tüpleri ile yapýlan entübasyonlarda tüp ucu vokal kordlarý geçer geçmez stilenin çýkarýlmasý rüptür riskini azaltacaktýr. Bu olgularda perioperatif taný ve erken primer tamir ile olumlu sonuçlar alýnmaktadýr.
