- Abstract
- The tracheal bronchus is a congenital bronchial branching anomaly defined as an aberrant bronchus arising in either the trachea or a main bronchus. Left bronchial isomerism is characterized by two bilobed lungs, bilateral long main bronchi, and both pulmonary arteries passing superiorly to their respective upper lobe bronchi. Left bronchial isomerism with a right-sided tracheal bronchus is a very rare combination of tracheobronchial anomalies. It has not been previously reported. We present multi-detector CT findings of a left bronchial isomerism with a right-sided tracheal bronchus of a 74 year old man. © 2023 by the authors.
