ABSTRACT
Bridging bronchus (BB) is an extremely rare tracheobronchial anomaly. This anomaly is often associated with a sling left pulmonary artery (SLPA) and is diagnosed in infancy or at autopsy. A 29-year-old female patient with previous history of pulmonary tuberculosis was admitted because of persistent fever, cough and sputum. Fiberoptic bronchoscope and chest computed tomography revealed a bridging bronchus and associated atelectasis. The right middle and lower lobe was supplied by a bronchus which originates from the left main bronchus and bridges the mediastinum. There was no anomaly of a left pulmonary artery. Right middle and lower bilobectomy was performed.
