Neonatal tracheal or laryngeal rupture is a rare but life-threatening condition that is attributable to traumatic endotracheal intubation or traumatic delivery. We present a review of the literature and 6 new cases of laryngeal or tracheal rupture following complicated delivery. High-risk groups were identified as 1) low-birth weight neonates, for intubation trauma, and 2) extremely high-birth weight neonates with shoulder dystocia, for trauma due to delivery. Two specific types of ruptures can be distinguished. The less-rare type involves a partial anterior rupture in the subglottic area, which can occur after traumatic intubation or traumatic delivery. The rarer type involves a distal circumferential tracheal rupture that gives rise to ventilatory problems, usually after a delay of several days. This type of rupture was only observed following traumatic delivery. Early diagnosis, optically guided orotracheal intubation, and timely treatment can reduce the risks of mortality and morbidity.
