A tracheal diverticulum is a rare clinical entity that is mostly diagnosed incidentally in radiographic pictures. It is infrequently mentioned in literature because of its relatively asymptomatic presentation. Its etiology is mostly attributed to tracheal wall weakness, which could either be congenital or acquired. Here we present a case of a 26-year-old man who presented with chronic intermittent cough and was incidentally diagnosed to have a tracheal diverticulum on the radiographic pictures of a high-resolution computed tomography scan of the chest (HRCT chest).
气管憩室是一种罕见的临床病症，大多在影像学检查中偶然被诊断出来。由于其临床表现相对无症状，在文献中很少被提及。其病因主要归因于气管壁薄弱，这可能是先天性的，也可能是后天获得的。在此，我们报告一例26岁男性病例，该患者表现为慢性间歇性咳嗽，在胸部高分辨率计算机断层扫描（HRCT胸部）的影像学检查中偶然被诊断为气管憩室。
