Abstract
• Synthetic pediatric tracheostomy tubes have been a major advance for both short- and long-term airway support. We present a late complication from the use of a Shiley silicone pediatric tracheostomy tube (Silastic), and its radiologic manifestations. To our knowledge, this complication has not been previously reported.
