Tracheobronchomegaly is a rare congenital abnormality with marked widening of the trachea and major bronchi, in most cases associated with chronic recurrent respiratory tract infection. We present this rare syndrome in a young woman who presented with recurrent respiratory tract infection. She was found to have tracheobronchomegaly on flexible bronchoscopy, which was confirmed with high-resolution computed tomography findings.
气管支气管巨大症是一种罕见的先天性异常,其特征为气管和主支气管显著增宽,多数情况下与慢性反复呼吸道感染相关。我们报告了一名患有反复呼吸道感染的年轻女性的这一罕见综合征。经柔性支气管镜检查发现她患有气管支气管巨大症,高分辨率计算机断层扫描结果证实了这一诊断。
