Abstract
Tracheostomy-dependent patients with neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) face an increased risk of tracheoinnominate fistula (TIF), a rare yet often fatal complication of tracheostomy. We present a case of an impending TIF in a patient with X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) and propose guidelines on the prevention and management of TIF in patients with NMDs.
