Abstract
A patient who presented with sudden shortness of breath, stridor, and recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis was diagnosed with a tracheal diverticulum. The diagnosis was established through CT scans and confirmed via endoscopy. Distinctive CT findings revealed an air-filled, tubular structure located behind and slightly to the right lateral of the trachea, which communicated with it. Endoscopy demonstrated a narrow-mouthed diverticulum originating from the posterior right wall of the trachea, approximately 8 cm below the level of the true vocal cords. Successful medical treatment was administered, and the patient experienced an uncomplicated recovery.
