Abstract

Tracheoceles are rare, and usually, they have been described as incidental findings while evaluating patients for other problems. Our patient complained of a mass located in the right supraclavicular region that got larger on coughing and straining; otherwise, he was asymptomatic. His history did not reveal any predisposing factors. Computed tomography showed an air-filled 3×2.5×2 cm mass at the level of the T2–4 vertebrae. Surgical exploration showed an air-filled mass located between the common carotid artery and trachea, communicating with the tracheal lumen via a narrow tract attached to the posterior wall of the trachea. The mass was completely resected, and the defect in the posterior wall was repaired. A literature search revealed only one tracheocele case without any predisposing factors, and our case is a new one. It is different from other tracheocele reports considering the origin side, type, and level of the lesion

Özet

Trakeoseller nadir görülür ve genellikle hastalar diğer problemleri için değerlendirilirken tesadüfen saptanır. Hastamız öksürük ve gerilme ile genişleyen asemptomatik sağ supraklavikuler kitle şikayeti ile başvurdu. Hikayesinde predispozan bir faktör görülmedi. Bilgisayarlı tomografisinde T2-4 vertebralar seviyesinde hava ile dolu 3x2,5x2 cm ölçülerinde kitle görüldü. Cerrahi girişimde kitlenin ana karotis arter ile trakea arasında olduğu ve dar bir bağlantı ile trakea posterior duvarı ile bağlantısı olduğu görüldü. Kitle tam olarak çıkarıldı ve posterior duvarda defekt tamir edildi. Literatürde bizim olgumuz gibi predispozan faktör olmaksızın gelişen sadece bir olgu bildirilmiştir. Bizim vakamız literatürdeki diğer vakadan seviyesi, kaynaklandığı yer ve tipi farklıdır
