“…However, they might also act as a reservoir for secretions with secondary infections of the tracheobronchial tree, resulting in chronic cough, dyspnoea, stridor, throat irritation, haemoptysis, chest pain and repeated episodes of tracheobronchitis (1,2) Such events occur due to the dynamic interaction between cysts and the tracheal lumen (15).…”

“…[15][16][17] There are numerous studies in the literature showing the presence of diverticulum in patients with repeated cough, persistent lung infections and hemoptysis. [18][19][20][21][22] Diverticulum was located in the right paratracheal region at the T2-T3 vertebral levels in 116 out of 119 patients in our study. Higuchi et al stated that there was subcarinal air collection in a thorax CT series in 61 out of 200 patients who had no history of pulmonary disease.…”

racheal diverticulum is an air cyst commonly occurring along the right posterolateral tracheal aspect of the tracheal air column at the level of the thoracic inlet.1 It can be uni-or multilocular and its size A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : To investigate the incidence of tracheal diverticula in routine chest tomography and the relation between the presence and size of the tracheal diverticulum and smoking. M Ma a--t te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : The study included 2270 consecutive patients who underwent a thoracic computed tomography (CT) exam with Dual Source Tomography due to distinct pathological signs. The size, localization and configurations of the diverticulum were reviewed and the smoking habits of the patients were questioned followed by the classification of the subjects in 5 groups. The correlation between the presence and the size of the diverticulum and smoking was investigated with non-parametric statistical tests. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : The tracheal diverticulum was determined in 119 (5.2%) patients. The size of the diverticulum varied significantly between the groups. Of the 119 patients with diverticulum, only 22 were non-smokers; the remaining 97 patients (81.5%) were smokers. Statistical analyses revealed a clear correlation between smoking and diverticulum size. Diverticulum sizes increased in proportion with the severity of smoking. The largest diverticula were identified in the most intensive smoking group. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : This study suggests that the presence and size of the tracheal diverticulum increases proportionally with smoking and the size of the diverticula may be an indicator of smoking related damage. K Ke ey y W Wo or rd ds s: : Trachea; diverticulum; tomography, X-Ray computed; smoking Ö ÖZ ZE ET T A Am ma aç ç: : Rutin göğüs tomografisinde trakeosel (trakeal divertikül) sıklığını araştırmak, trakeosel varlığı ve boyutu ile sigara kullanımı arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. G Ge er re eç ç v ve e Y Yö ön nt te em ml le er r: : Farklı nedenlerle toraks bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) taraması yapılan 2270 hasta çalışmaya katılmıştır. Trakeoselin yeri, boyutu ve konfigürasyonu değerlendirilmiş, divertiküllü hastalar retrospektif olarak sigara kullanımı yönünden sorgulanmıştır. Sigara alışkanlığına göre 5 gruba ayrılan hastalarda, gruplardaki divertikülün varlığı ve boyutu ile sigara kullanma arasındaki ilişki non-parametrik testler kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. B Bu ul lg gu ul la ar r: : Çalışma grubunu oluşturan 2270 hastanın 119 (%5,2)'unda divertikül saptanmıştır. Divertiküllü hastaların 97 (%81,5)'si sigara kullanmakta, yalnızca 22'si sigara içmemektedir. İstatistiksel analizler sonucunda divertikül varlığı ve boyutu ile sigara kullanma alışkanlığı arasında anlamlı bir bağlantı gözlenmiştir. Divertikül boyutu, sigara kullanma yoğunluğu ile doğru orantılı olarak artmaktadır. En büyük divertikül boyutları en yoğun sigara içen grupta saptanmıştır. S So on nu uç ç: : Bu çalışmaya göre divertikülün varlığı ve boyutuy...
