It can be congenital or acquired. Some well-known inflammatory and infectious conditions have been associated with the acquired form. Endotracheal intubation can traumatize the trachea and usually results in </div> <div style="text-align:justify;">focal stenosis, but may infrequently cause focal tracheobronchomegaly. It is not clearly understood why some cases result in stenosis and others in dilatation. This study reports the case of a patient whose clinical course was complicated by the development of intrathoracic focal tracheobronchomegaly during mechanical ventilation. </div> <br />}, number={1}, publisher={Hayat Sağlık ve Sosyal Hizmetler Vakfı}
