We present a case of a 59yearold patient with recurrent respiratory infections that required several hospitalizations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A case is described which presented as a severe life threatening pneumonia in which the bronchoscopic, radiographic, and computed tomographic findings are given. [doi.org]

We describe a case of an elderly male who presented with a recurrent respiratory infection who was subsequently diagnosed as Mounier-Kuhn syndrome. [jacpjournal.org]

• Decreased Breath Sounds

  They may have a small thoracic cage, decreased breath sounds on the affected side, and a mediastinal shift to the side of the lesion. Therefore, aplasia of the right lung can be confused with dextrocardia. [funomtheophilusmakama.blogspot.com]

Although her HIV has been well-managed, clinical management of future exacerbations could lead to complicated and extensive infectious disease workups. [cureus.com]

• Increased Total Lung Capacity

  Lung function exploration may show an obstructive ventilatory disorder with increased total lung capacity and residual volume [27]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment and prognosis Treatment is usually conservative with physiotherapy and postural drainage. Acute exacerbations are treated with antibiotics. In rare instances, tracheal stenting has been used 4. [radiopaedia.org]

Management and treatment Treatment is symptomatic. Chest physiotherapy can be proposed to improve mucociliary clearance and antibiotics are administered for treatment of pulmonary infections. [orpha.net]

A standard form was used to record patient characteristics, treatments and follow-up from medical charts. RESULTS: Seventeen patients, 53% male, aged 58 ± 18 years at diagnosis were included. Recurrent infections revealed MKS in 88% of cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The possible relationship between the two entities is discussed and the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, prognosis and treatment of TBM are reviewed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment and prognosis Treatment is usually conservative with physiotherapy and postural drainage. Acute exacerbations are treated with antibiotics. In rare instances, tracheal stenting has been used 4. [radiopaedia.org]

Cystic or cylindrical bronchiectasis affecting particularly first- to fourth-order branches may also be present Prognosis - Tracheobronchomegaly Not supplied. Treatment - Tracheobronchomegaly Not supplied. [checkorphan.org]

Prognosis The impact of this condition on life expectancy has not been evaluated. [orpha.net]

We also hypothesize that TBM and generalized elastolysis may have etiological commonalities, suggesting a need for further study. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiologic mechanism remains unknown. Irritants like cigarette smoke and air pollution could act as irritating factors. [orpha.net]

Summary Epidemiology It is a rare underdiagnosed condition of unknown prevalence. About 300 cases have been reported to date. The condition is more frequent in men. [orpha.net]

While no epidemiologic study has been published, MKS has been found to disproportionally affect men with an 8:1 male to female ratio [4-5]. [cureus.com]

We introduce a novel classification scheme, which may sort patients into etiologically distinct groups, furthering our understanding of its pathogenesis and potentially, prevention or therapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention - Tracheobronchomegaly Not supplied. Diagnosis - Tracheobronchomegaly The diagnosis is radiological. The dilatation of the trachea and the main bronchi is visible on the chest radiograph. [checkorphan.org]

Control and prevention of recurrent infections will prevent progression to irreversible pulmonary fibrosis. Several trials have also shown benefit of continuous positive airway pressure, airway stenting, and tracheobronchoplasty [9]. [cureus.com]

Since 1981, we have specialized in treating dysfunction related to the spine and offer on and offsite spine school for prevention. [backclinicinc.com]

Success has been achieved in few cases with tracheal stenting to prevent expiratory collapse(6). [rb.org.br]
