Computed tomography (CT) has not been considered useful for early diagnosis of traumatized patients who could hardly hold their breath, particularly patients with tracheal injuries. However, the recent development of spiral CT has made it possible to acquire contiguous patient data, which eliminates the respiratory misregistration. Air is easily differentiated from surrounding tissues by striking contrast, and the trachea can therefore be well displayed by three-dimensional (3D)-CT.

Tracheobronchomegaly is a rare disorder. A marked dilatation of the trachea and the main stem bronchi is the characteristic sign measured as an enlarged transverse diameter (mean +/- 3 SD). Bronchiectasis is usual.

Background: Necrotizing tracheobronchitis is a severe complication observed in some mechanically ventilated neonates.
Case Report: A twin premature (GA = 31 weeks), weighing 1,500 g required oral endotracheal intubation for mechanical ventilation because he suffered from respiratory distress syndrome. He was given indomethacin on day 4 for patent ductus arteriosus.
A study was undertaken to clarify the pathogenesis of tracheal stenosis complicating the use of cuffed tracheostomy tubes, a complication of increasing clinical significance. Tracheostomy with a cuffed inflated tube was established in dogs and was maintained for two weeks. The effects of tracheostomy were assessed by bronchoscopy, tracheography, and histology at the time of killing, eight weeks after extubation.
