A 9-year-old female patient admitted after motor vehicle collision and intubated due to neurologic impairment due to subdural hemorrhage. Axial CT images (A,B) of the chest with contrast demonstrate an overinflated cuff (arrows) compressing the brachiocephalic trunk (thick arrows). The patient subsequently developed intracranial ischemia due to decreased right cerebral perfusion.
