a) Axial thoracic CT image (lung window) shows a severe stenosis of the bronchial lumen at the level of the bifurcation of the intermediate bronchus (arrows). b) Axial thoracic CT image (mediastinal window) shows a soft-tissue cuffing surrounding the intermediate pulmonary artery causing a stenosis of its lumen (arrows). c) Coronal maximum intensity projection (MIP) CT image (mediastinal window) better depicts the stenosis of the intermediate pulmonary artery (arrows). d) 3D reformatted CT image demonstrates a severe stenosis of the intermediate bronchus (arrows). e) Angio-CT with volume rendering 3D reconstruction image (posterior view) shows the stenosis of the intermediate pulmonary artery (arrows). f) Bronchoscopic view demonstrates an area of anthracotic pigmentation (arrows)
