- Abstract:
- Tracheobronchomegaly (Mounier-Kuhn syndrome) is characterized by dilatation of the central airways, tracheobronchial outpouchings, and chronic tracheobronchitis. Most cases are diagnosed in adulthood. We report the clinical, radiographic, and bronchoscopic findings in a 14-year-old boy with tracheobronchomegaly, ptosis of the right eyelid, and redundant skin and mucosa of the upper lip, who presented with a 2-year history of recurrent lower respiratory tract infections. Pediatricians should be aware of the possibility that tracheobronchomegaly may cause clinical symptoms in childhood and adolescence. Pediatr Pulmonol. 2000; 29: 476-479.
