Pre-tracheal air cysts, a rare tracheostomy complication, are presented in an adult 12 years post-procedure. This case highlights the delayed onset and rarity of these aeroceles in adults, differing from pediatric occurrences.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Complications
  • Surgical Outcomes
  • Airway Management

Background:

  • Tracheostomy is a common procedure for airway management.
  • Pre-tracheal air cysts (aeroceles) are infrequent complications following tracheostomy.
  • Literature review indicates limited reports, primarily in pediatric cases.

Observation:

  • A case of pre-tracheal air cyst is reported in an adult patient.
  • The cyst presented 12 years after the initial tracheostomy.
  • This represents the first reported adult case with such a long latency period.

Findings:

  • Pre-tracheal air cysts can manifest years after tracheostomy in adults.
  • The pathogenesis of these delayed aeroceles requires further investigation.
  • Management strategies for adult pre-tracheal air cysts are discussed.

Implications:

  • Highlights the potential for delayed complications after tracheostomy.
  • Suggests the need for long-term patient monitoring.
  • Informs clinical practice regarding the diagnosis and management of rare post-tracheostomy sequelae.
