Abstract

Tracheobronchomegaly is a rare condition characterized by marked dilatation of the trachea and main bronchi and frequently associated with tracheal diverticulosis, bronchiectasis, and recurrent lower respiratory tract infection (1,2) Mounier-kuhn, in 1932, was the first to associate the presence of tracheobronchomegaly with the clinical syndrome of chronic, recurrent respiratory tract infection (3) Tracheobron-chomegaly is belived to be extremely rare. To date, only 92 cases have been reported in the literatures (4,5) We recently encountered a case of tracheobronchomegaly associated with multiple diverticula formation. The diagnosis was made by chest radiography, computed tomography (CT), bronchography, and CT taken immediately after the bronchography.
