Abstract

Tracheobronchomegaly, first described in 1932 by Mounier–Kuhn, is a well-known clinical and radiological entity characterized by marked weakness of the trachea. It can be congenital or acquired. Some well-known inflammatory and infectious conditions have been associated with the acquired form. Endotracheal intubation can traumatize the trachea and usually results in
focal stenosis, but may infrequently cause focal tracheobronchomegaly. It is not clearly understood why some cases result in stenosis and others in dilatation. This study reports the case of a patient whose clinical course was complicated by the development of intrathoracic focal tracheobronchomegaly during mechanical ventilation.

Mekanik Ventilasyon Sırasında Gelişen Trakeobronkomegali: Ender Bir Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Trakeobronkomegali, ilk defa 1932’de Mounier–Kuhn tarafından tarif edilmiş belirgin trakea zayıflığı ile karakterize, konjenital veya kazanılmış olabilen klinik ve radyolojik olarak iyi bilinen bir tablodur. Bazı iyi bilinen enflamasyonlu ve enfeksiyöz durumlar kazanılmış formu ile birlikte olabilmektedir. Endotrakeal entübasyon, trakeayı travmatize edebilmekte ve genellikle fokal darlık ile sonuçlanabilmektedir, ancak çok seyrek olarak fokal trakeobronkomegaliye sebep olabilmektedir. Bazı olgularda darlık veya dilatasyonun niye oluştuğu açıkça anlaşılamamıştır. Biz, mekanik ventilasyon sırasında klinik seyri komplike hale gelmiş olan bir intratorasik fokal trakeobronkomegali olgusu sunuyoruz.
