085 – Accented Folds

085 - Extrinsic compression pulmonary atelectasis

The longitudinal folds are preserved parallel but very accentuated and somewhat “separated” in this pulmonary atelectasis by extrinsic compression. Recall that in the trachea only the malignant conditions contiguous to its posterior wall “accentuate and separate” their folds, while the compressions of nonmalignant causes produce the bulge of the wall and the folds can be … Read more

080 – Carina Lost

080 - Compression in the tracheal path

“Hidden carina.” Extensive compression in the tracheal route that produces the prolapse of the posterior wall. Towards the bifurcation deforms the light from the bronchi, losing the right bronchus. The carina it is hidden due to the compression.

062 – Klippel Feil Syndrome

062 - Malformaciones

Distribution anomaly: Tracheal bronchus. Part of the right upper lobe is ventilated thanks to a bronchus that has shifted during the embryonic phase of lung development so that it is born directly from the trachea. Sometimes, this bronchus only leads to the apical segment of the right upper lobe and is, in these cases, a “supernumerary” bronchus. It can be … Read more
