Tracheal rupture is an uncommon disease in cats, and is usually iatrogenic. This case report describes a cervical tracheal rupture in a mature male British shorthair. The cat was presented with extreme subcutaneous emphysema and a moderate to severe pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum and pneumoretroperitoneum, but did not show any signs of dyspnea and/or hypoxia. The cat had a recent history of endotracheal intubation. The diagnosis was made with tracheoscopy, and the tracheal rupture was surgically treated. No clinical complications were exhibited by the patient during the hospitalization. After four days, the patient was discharged, and no further complaints were reported during the medical control four months later
