Mounier-Kuhn syndrome (MKS) is a rare congenital disease with an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, characterized by an enlargement of the trachea and bronchi. MKS is secondary to a thinning of the muscular mucosa and atrophy of the longitudinal muscle and elastic fibers of the tracheobronchial tree. As a consequence, tracheal diverticulosis and dilatations in the posterior membranous wall appear, along with bronchiectasis that tend to be cystic in appearance.
