Abstract

In the past, tracheobronchial anomaly and variants (TBA) have been reported in 1-12% of the patients who underwent bronchography or bronchoscopy. In addition to various anatomic variants, tracheal bronchus and accessory cardiac bronchus may be seen rarely. The objective of our study was to investigate the patients with TBA diagnosed by bronchoscopy and describe their clinical characteristics. The reports of all bronchoscopies performed in Dokuz Eylül University Hospital Department of Pulmonary Diseases between 1992 and 2002 were reviewed and the patients with TBA were collected. Data about clinical and radiologic findings of the patients with TBA were recorded. In 72 out of 6732 bronchoscopies (1.06%) TBA was detected. There were 49 males (68%) and mean age was 57.8 ( range, 26 to 89). Tracheal bronchus and accessory cardiac bronchus were detected in 16 (0.2%) and four (0.05%) patients, respectively. Most of the TBA were localized at the right upper lobe bronchus (67.07%). In eight patients (11.1%) there were more than one TBA. One patient had bilateral TBA including accessory cardiac bronchus and tracheal bronchus of the left lower lobe bronchus. In two patients, there were another airway anomalies including Mac Leod’s syndrom and pulmonary secestration, whereas one patient had diaphragmatic hernia. TBA is usually asymptomatic and an accidental finding on bronchoscopic examination. However, tracheal bronchus and accessory cardiac bronchus may result in cough, hemoptysis or recurrent pneumonia . Therefore, knowledge of bronchial anomaly and variants is essential for distinguishing pathological findings and proper bronchoscopic and clinical diagnosis.

Özet

Trakeobronşial anomali ya da anatomik varyasyonlar (TBA), geçmiş yıllarda %1-12 oranında bildirilmiştir. Çok çeşitli anatomik varyasyonlar olabileceği gibi, nadir olarak trakeal bronş ve aksesuar kardiyak bronş saptanabilir. Çalışmamızda, bronkoskopi sırasında TBA saptanma oranını ve bu olguların klinik özelliklerini araştırmayı amaçladık. Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Hastanesi, Göğüs Hastalıkları Kliniği Bronkoskopi Ünitesi’nde, 1992-2002 yılları arasında yapılan bronkoskopilerin raporları retrospektif olarak incelendi ve saptanan TBA’lar kaydedildi. TBA saptanan olguların hastane kayıtlarından klinik ve radyolojik özellikleri araştırıldı. Yapılan toplam 6732 bronkoskopiden 72’sinde (%1.06) TBA saptandı. Yaş ortalaması 57.8 (minimum 26, maksimum 89) olan olguların 49’u (%68) erkekti. Trakeal bronş (TB) 16 olguda (%0.2), aksesuar kardiyak bronş (AKB) ise dört olguda saptandı (%0.05). Sağ üst lop, anomalilerin en sık saptandığı bölgeydi (%67.07). Sekiz olguda, birden fazla TBA saptandı (%11.1). Bir olguda ise bilateral TBA vardı (Aksesuar kardiyak bronş ve sol alt lop bronşunda trakeal bronş). İki olguda başka pulmoner anomaliler (Mac Leod sendromu ve pulmoner sekestrasyon), bir olguda ise diyafram hernisi eşlik eden bulgulardı. Trakeobronşial anomaliler genellikle asemptomatiktir ve rastlantısal olarak saptanır. Ancak, trakeal bronş ve aksesuar kardiyak bronş, tekrarlayan pnömonilere, öksürük ve hemoptiziye neden olabilir. Bu nedenle, bronş anomali ve varyasyonlarının iyi bilinmesi, patolojik bulguların ayırt edilebilmesi ve doğru bronkoskopik ve klinik tanı konabilmesi için gereklidir.
