ABSTRACT

Entre las variantes de la anatomía bronquial nos podemos encontrar con ramas bronquiales displásicas, ramas ausentes o ramas supernumerarias. Aunque gran parte son asintomáticas, es esencial reconocerlas porque se pueden asociar a hemoptisis, infecciones recurrentes, empiema o a complicaciones secundarias a procedimientos (por ejemplo intubaciones endotraqueales, fibrobroncoscopías, lavado broncoalveolar, biopsias, tratamientos endobronquiales, instalación de stent, braquiterapia y cirugías pulmonares entre otros). En este articulo describimos las variantes bronquiales más prevalentes en tomografia computada, incluyendo al bronquio cardíaco accesorio, bronquio traqueal y bronquio puente, entre otras.


Among the variations of bronchial anatomy, we can find dysplastic bronchial branches, an absence of bronchial branches, or supernumerary branches. Although many of them are asymptomatic, it is essential to know them because they may be associated with hemoptysis, recurrent infections, empyema, or complications secondary to various procedures (e.g. endotracheal intubation, brochoscopy, bronchoalveolar lavage, biopsy, endobronchial treatments, stent installation, brachytherapy and lung surgeries among others). In this study we used computed tomography to describe some of the most prevalent bronchial variations, including accessory cardiac bronchus, tracheal bronchus, and bridge bronchus among others.
