A problem was encountered which had not been reported previously in TPO: repeated cuff rupture at the time of surgical tracheostomy occurred possibly because of bony and cartilaginous tissue located in the tracheal wall.   Conclusion:  In addition to difficulty of intubation, TPO may cause tracheostomy tube cuff rupture, which could be explained due to bonny calcification in the tracheal wall. }, keywords = {Intubation,Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica,Tracheostomy}, url = {https://ijorl.mums.ac.ir/article_4792.html}, eprint = {https://ijorl.mums.ac.ir/article_4792_dd68cab527d06bb2356e8672a8b5607f.pdf} }
