Abstract
Pneumoperitoneum in traumatic patients almost always indicates a underlying bowel pathology. We present a case report where pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum associated with Tracheobronchial injury causing/presenting as pneumoperitoneum. Treatment Protocol of such presentation has not yet been standardised due to its rare presentation.
