The association of tracheomegaly and bronchiectasis.
Clinical Radiology 1994 September
This study set out to determine the frequency of tracheomegaly in brochiectasis as judged by high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) while determining whether the published normal tracheal dimensions derived from radiographic data can be used for CT diagnosis. Seventy-five consecutive adults referred for CT assessment of possible bronchiectasis were studied and compared with a control group of 75 adults being staged for lymphoma. The internal tracheal diameters at aortic arch level of the control group correspond with published radiographic data and using these measurements, 7/42 (17%) patients with bronchiectasis were found to have tracheomegaly, while two of the 33 'symptomatic' patients (i.e. those patients not found to have bronchiectasis) had tracheomegaly. Further analysis confirmed that the bronchiectatic group's tracheal dimensions were significantly different from those of the control group while the 'symptomatic' group are an overlap population. We conclude that tracheomegaly is a frequent finding in bronchiectasis.
