Obstructed tracheal bronchus as a cause of post-obstructive pneumonia.

This article describes a case of obstructed supernumerary tracheal bronchus with partial atelectasis and pneumonia of the right upper lobe, diagnosed using trispiral tomograms. An obstructing broncholith, a supernumerary tracheal bronchus, and granulation tissue mass extruding from the bronchus were confirmed by resection of the pulmonary segment.
