Mounier-Kuhn Syndrome (MKS) is a rare disease characterised by recurrent chest infections, and dilation of the trachea and main bronchi, most likely to due to atrophy of elastic fibres https://bit.ly/3azhDjr.

The case presents a 43 years old man, cigarette smoker, exposed to wood dust at work, with chronic, ineffective cough symptoms, limited physical exertion and recurring respiratory system infection. Disorders appeared at the age of 33 after severe double-sided pneumonia. Despite the lack of active

Tracheobronchomegaly is a rare cause of recurrent chest infections often with persistent, unproductive cough. A case is described which presented as a severe life threatening pneumonia in which the bronchoscopic, radiographic, and computed tomographic findings are given.

Tracheobronchomegaly (TBM) is a rare disorder. It is characterised by a dilatation of the trachea and subsequent bronchial divisions associated with a dynamic pathology, in particular a cough which explains the symptomatology of the patients. We report the observation of a patient suffering from TBM

We report a rare case of tracheobronchomegaly with crescent-type tracheobronchomalacia. A 77-year-old man with a chronic cough was referred to our hospital because of fever and dyspnea. Radiographic examination showed enlargement of the trachea and main bronchi. On chest radiography, the transverse

OBJECTIVE Mounier-Kuhn syndrome (MKS) is a congenital disorder characterized by tracheobronchomegaly resulting from the absence of elastic fibers in the trachea and main bronchi or atrophy and thinning of the smooth muscle layer. In this syndrome, dead space associated with tracheobronchomegaly

Congenital tracheobronchomegaly (Mounier-Kuhn Syndrome, MKS) is a rare idiopathic disorder characterized by dilation of the central airways, including the trachea and first through fourth order bronchi. MKS disproportionately affects men and results in chronic respiratory tract infections. The

Mounier-Kuhn syndrome--or tracheobronchomegaly--is a rare congenital disorder characterized by significant dilation of the trachea and main bronchi. It is accompanied by ineffective cough and is often complicated by recurrent lung infections and bronchiectasis. Clinical presentation varies widely,

Tracheobronchomegaly is defined as a dilatation of the trachea and the large bronchi. It may occur as a familial condition or in association with a connective tissue disease, e.g. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Tracheobronchomegaly occurs late in adults. The predominant symptoms are bronchial irritation

Tracheobronchomegaly (also called Mounier-Kuhn syndrome) is a rare disease characterized by flaccid and markedly dilated trachea and main bronchi on inspiration with narrowing or collapse on expiration or cough. It is associated with recurrent lower respiratory tract infection. A 75-year-old man

The authors report a case of tracheobronchomegaly in a 62-year-old man with chronic expiratory cough. Computed tomography showed dilatation of the trachea on inspiration and complete collapse of the trachea and the proximal bronchi on full expiration. The authors discuss the importance of the

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical, radiological, and pathological characteristics of tracheobronchomegaly (TBM, Mounier-Kuhn syndrome). METHODS The clinical, radiological and pathological characteristics of 3 cases of TBM were analyzed, and the literatures were reviewed. RESULTS All 3 patients were

Mounier-Kuhn syndrome is a congenital abnormality of the trachea and main bronchi characterized by atrophy or absence of elastic fibers and thinning of muscle, which allows the trachea and main bronchi to become flaccid and markedly dilated on inspiration with narrowing or collapse on expiration or

Mounier Kuhn syndrome, or congenital tracheobronchomegaly, is an under diagnosed clinical entity with peculiar anatomical and physiological features making anesthetic care challenging. A 58-year-old chronic smoker with history of recurrent pneumonia and bronchiectasis presented for septoplasty.

Following a provisional diagnosis of asthma of several years' duration by his general practitioner, a 43-year-old otherwise healthy man who was a non-smoker was referred to a pulmonologist with worsening productive cough and exertional breathlessness. A thoracic CT scan revealed dilated airways
