Case of tracheal diverticulum and bronchiectasis

ABSTRACT

Tracheal diverticulum is a rarely encountered entity usually diagnosed incidentally on CT scan. It may be asymptomatic or may present with recurrent respiratory infections or other symptomatology. Here we report a 59-year-old baker presented with shortness of breath, cough, and sputum production that had tracheal diverticulum in association with bronchiectasis on HRCT which has rarely been reported in the literature
