“…In type 3, diverticular and saccular structures extend to the distal bronchi. 8 It is a condition for which no effective therapy exists and usually it is mainly supportive. Symptomatic patients with airway collapse might require endobronchial stenting.…”

“…It may occur together with duplication of trachea, doubling of carina, tracheal trifurcation and bronchial developmental anomalies [21,24], and in all these pathologies it indicates severe connective tissue defects [16,21]. Its acquired form is very rare [25,26]. Trachea dilatation with pulmonary fibrosis [27] has been observed in singers [21].…”

The diagnosis of bronchus cardiacus accessorius dexter (BCAD) has occurred in 25 cases during the bronchoscopic investigations of 30,000 adult patients of the authors. In most of the cases, this bronchial anomaly has been revealed as an accessory phenomenon, nevertheless, in one of the patients, it was the source of a considerable hemorrhage. In another case reported here in detail, it occurred together with multiple developmental anomalies, such as tracheobronchomegaly, mitral valve prolapse, pectus excavatum, hypoplasy of sinus frontalis on the right side, inguinal hernia on the left side and hyperlipidemia type IV. Family analysis did not confirm the presence of any chromosomal disorders or accumulation of similar developmental anomalies. The forms and frequency of associations of the anomalies are surveyed on the basis of literary data. The recognition of BCAD is of diagnostic importance, since it may explain the persistence of some bronchopulmonary symptoms; furthermore, the exploration of the associated abnormal vascular branches may be very useful in case of an eventual thoracic surgical intervention.

“…Fiberoptic bronchoscopy will help in appreciating the deranged airway dynamics in inspiration/expiration. (4) General guidelines for treatment of disease is cessation of smoking, as low as possible exposure with inhaled irritant pollutants and managing simultaneously existing cardiopulmonary diseases like chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. (5,6,7) Physiotherapy increases clearance of secretions.…”

Mounier Kuhn syndrome, also known as tracheobronchomegaly is a rare idiopathic disorder characterized by significant tracheobronchial dilation. It results in recurrent lower respiratory tract infections and bronchiectasis. In severe cases, patients may present with acute respiratory distress requiring hospital admission and ventilatory support. The diagnosis is easily missed as tracheobronchomegaly is overlooked on plain chest x-ray. Here we present an interesting report of our patient who presented with recurrent cough and shortness of breath. A diagnosis of bronchiectasis was first thought of. Computed tomography scan revealed a final diagnosis of this rare disorder. Management of the disease is only supportive and depends on the severity of the condition.

Tracheobronchomegaly

Abstract: We report two cases of tracheobronchomegaly with differing presentations. The radiologic, fiberoptic bronchoscopic, and clinical findings as well as management of this rare condition are reviewed.
