Traumatic rupture of the main bronchus is comparatively very rare. With the advent of widespread mechanization and high-speed era, the incidence of traumatic rupture of the tracheobronchial tree has been increased considerably. Rupture of the bronchus is an unusual result of nonpenetrating trauma to the chest. Early recognition of bronchial rupture and emergency thoracotomy and management is essential for reducing of morbidity, mortality and late complications. We experienced 3 cases of bronchial rupture caused by nonpenetrating chest trauma with or without rib fracture. Patients were suffered from dyspnea and chest pain. After closed thoracostomy, corrective surgery was performed. Postoperative courses were uneventful and discharged without any complication.
