Traqueobroncomegalia: a propósito de un caso clínico-radiológico

Abstract

Tracheobronchomegaly corresponds to the anomalous diffuse dilatation of the trachea and main bronchi, usually accompanied by bronchiectasis, which predisposes to recurrent infections. The imaging study is essential to recognize this entity. A case of a 40-year-old woman, with suspicion of bronchial asthma is presented. Imaging study and bronchofiberscopy confirmed the diagnosis of tracheobronchomegaly in this patient.
