Abstract

A 66-years-old man was refered to our hospital because of cough, sputum, chill and fever. Enlargement of the trachea and main bronchi on radiography and bronchoscopy is compatible with Mounier-Kuhn syndrome. Mounier-Kuhn syndrome or tracheobronchomegaly is a rare disorder of uncertain etiology, characterized by marked dilatation of the trachea and major bronchi. This syndrome is associated with tracheal diverticulosis, bronchiectasis and recurrent respiratory tract infection. We report a rare case of Mounier-Kuhn syndrome with pneumonia and literature reviews.
