AbstractWe report a case of tracheal and endotracheal tube cuff perforation that occurred intraoperatively during a ventriculoatrial shunting procedure for a patient with normal pressure hydrocephalus. Unusual tracheal anatomy and technique were contributory factors. Use of noninvasive imaging devices to guide the intraoperative placement of catheters may avoid many of the complications related to anatomy, skill, and technique. The method of diagnosis, prevention, and management is discussed.
