Abstract

Tracheal bronchus is an uncommon anomaly of the airway in which an ectopic bronchus arises from the trachea superior to its bifurcation. It is usually asymptomatic and no intervention is needed. However in the cases complicated with recurrent pneumonia, bronchiectasis or abscess, surgical excision may be needed. We report 5 cases of tracheal bronchus with or without complication or combined anomaly.
