Abstract

We report a case of a 27-year-old woman. At 10 months of age, she had contracted bacterial meningitis by Streptococcus pneumoniae, which resulted in hydrocephalus and severe neurological sequelae. She contracted recurrent aspiration pneumonia during growth and underwent gastrostomy at the age of 19 and tracheotomy at the age of 22 years. At the age of 25, she was hospitalized but contracted pneumonia by aspiration of salvia. She underwent laryngotracheal separation when she was 26 years old. 10 months after surgery, she presented with excessive bleeding from the trachea. Contrast computed tomography of the neck revealed bleeding from the granulation tissue in the trachea along with collateral circulation in the bronchial arteries. The bleeding was stopped using a tracheal cuff but it resumed the next day. The patient died due to blood retention in the trachea.
