We present a case of 63-year-old man who was referred to the emergency department with a right-sided pneumothorax. He had a history of spontaneous pneumothorax for 2 times. The chest computed tomographic scan showed tracheobronchomegaly with an increase in the diameter of the trachea and right and left main bronchus. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed enlarged trachea and both main bronchus with diverticulas. These findings are consistent with a diagnosis of Mounier-Kuhn syndrome. Mounier-Kuhn syndrome is a rare clinical and radiologic condition. It is characterized by a tracheal and bronchial dilation. Diagnosis is made by computed tomography and bronchoscopy. Mounier-Kuhn syndrome should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax.
我们报告一例63岁男性，因右侧气胸被转诊至急诊科。他有2次自发性气胸病史。胸部计算机断层扫描显示气管支气管扩张，气管及左右主支气管直径增加。纤维支气管镜检查显示气管及双侧主支气管扩张并伴有憩室。这些发现符合穆尼尔-库恩综合征的诊断。穆尼尔-库恩综合征是一种罕见的临床和影像学疾病。其特征为气管和支气管扩张。通过计算机断层扫描和支气管镜检查进行诊断。在复发性自发性气胸的鉴别诊断中应考虑穆尼尔-库恩综合征。
