“…All bronchial anomalies affecting the upper lobe are observed on the right side seven times more often than on the left. 15 In the present study, no TTBs were found on the left side. Ming and Lin reported that right-side TTB was more common, bilateral TTB usually occurred with heterotaxy syndrome, and TTB often occurred with congenital heart disease.…”

“…Tracheal bronchus was first described in 1785 by Sandifort (as quoted by Kubik and Muntener, ) as a right upper lobe bronchus originating from the trachea. Recent studies describe it as a collection of bronchial variations originating from either the trachea or a main bronchus that are directed to the upper lobe of the lung (Ghaye et al, ; Berrocal et al, ).…”

Variations of the tracheobronchial tree: Anatomical and clinical significance

Tracheobronchial variations can be found during routine bronchoscopy or computed tomography. Previous sources estimate an incidence of 1-12%; however, these variations are often asymptomatic. Symptomatic patients present typically with cough and lower respiratory tract infection. Knowledge and understanding of tracheobronchial variations have important implications for diagnosis of symptomatic patients and performing certain procedures, including bronchoscopy and endotracheal intubation. In this review, we describe the most commonly encountered variations, tracheal bronchus and accessory cardiac bronchus, along with three minor abnormalities of this region. We also review the various imaging modalities in the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.

IntroductionThe tracheobronchial tree exhibits a wide range of variations. The purpose of this study is the investigation of the frequency and multidetector tomographic (MDCT) findings of anatomical variations of the main bronchi and of the lobar bronchi, as well as the detection of abnormal bronchi originated from the trachea, in subjects without severe bronchial pathology. Materials and methodsAbout 872 consecutive patients who underwent thoracic MDCT examination were enrolled in the study. All MDCT data, including multiplanar reconstructions, maximum intensity projections and volume-rendered images, as well as virtual bronchoscopy, were evaluated for the detection of main bronchial variations. Various kinds of bronchial variations and anomalies, such as tracheal bronchus, accessory cardiac bronchus, bronchus hypoplasia and bronchial origin anomalies, were documented. ResultsIn 872 subjects, the overall frequency of main bronchus variations is 2.52% (22/872). More specifically, tracheal bronchus were found in eight cases (0.9%), accessory cardiac bronchus was found in one case (0.1%), hypoplasia was found in one case (0.1%) and bronchial origin anomalies were found in 10 cases (1.14%). ConclusionThe display of tracheobronchial variations is of clinical importance first because they are related to infections and, sometimes, malignancies and second in preoperative or in cases of bronchoscopic procedures. In our study, the commonest variation was the tracheal bronchus. MDCT and virtual bronchoscopy can depict tracheobronchial variations accurately and can be served as an alternative to bronchoscopy in certain cases of possible bronchial anomaly.
