Bibek Timilsina et al. Clin Case Rep. .

Abstract

The presence of multiple tracheal and bronchial diverticula is a rare condition. We present a case of a 22-years old non-smoker male with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis, having multiple tracheal and bronchial diverticula along with other common sequelae such as stenosed and collapsed upper lobe bronchi.

Keywords: bronchial stenosis; non‐smoker; tracheobronchial diverticula; tuberculosis; tuberculosis sequelae.
