Although it is rare, posttraumatic tracheobronchial injury is a potentially life-threatening condition. It is mostly seen after blunt injuries, cases due to penetrating injuries consist only 6 to 10%. About 75 to 80% of penetrating tracheal injury occurs in cervical trachea. Surgery is tha traditional approach in the treatment, but conservative treatment may be advised for some patients selected on the basis of physical and endoscopic findings. Here in this paper, a patient suffering from pellets wound affecting the servical trachea and treated conservatively was reported.
