“…Chronic cigarette smoking, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, cystic fibrosis, severe upper lobe fibrosis, and relapsing polychondritis may result in focal tracheobronchomegaly (3,7). In this case, no other associated comorbid conditions were present (diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or immunosuppression) (8).…”

Tracheobronchomegaly, first described in 1932 by Mounier-Kuhn, is a well-known clinical and radiological entity characterized by marked weakness of the trachea. It can be congenital or acquired. Some well-known inflammatory and infectious conditions have been associated with the acquired form. Endotracheal intubation can traumatize the trachea and usually results in focal stenosis, but may infrequently cause focal tracheobronchomegaly. It is not clearly understood why some cases result in stenosis and others in dilatation. This study reports the case of a patient whose clinical course was complicated by the development of intrathoracic focal tracheobronchomegaly during mechanical ventilation.

“…Tracheal diverticulae have also been reported to occur with Mounier-Kuhn syndrome (tracheobronchomegaly), which was not seen in our patient. 5 Patients with multiple tracheal diverticulosis have been previously described in the literature. 6 MDCT has been proposed as a very useful modality in the evaluation of these abnormalities as it can detect and delineate finer characteristics like the diverticulum neck and the presence or absence of cartilage in the wall.…”

Multiple tracheal diverticulosis is a rare clinical entity. Tracheal diverticula are usually recognized radiologically as solitary right paratracheal air collections on thoracic computed tomography examination. They are usually asymptomatic but can occasionally present with persistent symptoms. We herein report the case of a 50-year-old male patient who underwent extensive evaluation for persistent cough. Multiple posterior right paratracheal air collections were recognized on thoracic multidetector computed tomography examination, which was confirmed as multiple-acquired posterior upper tracheal diverticula on flexible bronchoscopy. The patient improved with conservative medical management.

“…6 Tracheal diverticulum may be seen in association with Mounier-Kuhn syndrome. 7 The tracheal diverticula are usually diagnosed by bronchography, CT scan thorax or by fibreoptic bronchoscopy. The diagnosis in our case was also mainly based on CT thorax and fibreoptic bronchoscopy.…”
