“…The plain chest radiograph is relatively insensitive to airway changes [7] . MDCT, including thin-slice volumetric CT, paired inspiratory and expiratory MDCT and even dynamic 4D MDCT during a full respiratory cycle, allows for exquisite visualization of the central airways.…”

Recent state-of-the-art computed tomography and improved three-dimensional (3-D) postprocessing techniques have revolutionized the capability of visualizing airway pathology, offering physicians an advanced view of pathology and allowing for appropriate management planning. This article is a comprehensive review of trachea and main bronchi imaging, with emphasis on the dynamic airway anatomy, and a discussion of a wide variety of diseases including, but not limited to, congenital large airway abnormalities, tracheobronchial stenoses, benign and malignant neoplasms and tracheobronchomalacia. The importance of multiplanar reconstruction, 3-D reconstruction and incorporation of dynamic imaging for non-invasive evaluation of the large airways is stressed.

“…Lung parenchymal involvement is an uncommon but severe manifestation of laryngotracheal papillomatosis, occurring in less than 1% of cases [1,27] . It can occur with a latency of 10 years following onset of laryngeal disease, therefore the presentation is most common in older children and young adolescents [1,26,27,39] . On CT, multiple small nodules are seen predominantly within the dependent (i.e.…”

“…7 Tracheobronchial narrowing and wall thickening can be demonstrated and measurements of the length and internal diameter of the flow limiting segments involved can be taken. 8 The cause of the airway obstruction during the initial operative procedure was most likely due to disturbance of the tumour during intubation of the trachea creating a flap obstruction. Due to the friable 'waxy' nature of amyloid deposits and their occurrence often at multiple sites, there is an increased risk of airway obstruction or bleeding either on intubation or on instrumentation of the airway.…”

P Pu ur rp po os se e: : To report a case of lower respiratory tract obstruction occurring in a patient with primary pulmonary amyloidosis and discuss anesthetic management.C Cl li in ni ic ca al l f fe ea at tu ur re es s: : A 53-yr-old man was referred to our institution for microlaryngoscopy and laser treatment of the larynx. He presented with a five-year history of primary laryngo-tracheo-bronchial amyloidosis and symptoms consistent with narrowing of the conducting airways. General anesthesia was induced with iv propofol 150 mg and remifentanil 50 µg. Mivacurium 20 mg provided muscle relaxation for endotracheal intubation. Following endotracheal intubation, the airway became obstructed and patient ventilation impossible. The endotracheal tube was removed and a Dedo laryngoscope inserted. Gas exchange was maintained using supraglottic jet ventilation via a distal port of the laryngoscope. Rigid bronchoscopy showed tissue partially obstructing the lumen of the lower trachea. This was removed and the airway appeared patent. At the end of the case, a further episode of lower airway obstruction occurred requiring reinsertion of the laryngoscope and resumption of jet ventilation. Extensive debridement through the bronchoscope was required before adequate ventilation could be restored. Some days later when the patient's condition deteriorated again and he required further debridement of the trachea and insertion of a tracheostomy, guide wires were positioned in the femoral vessels in the event that cardiopulmonary bypass was required for gas exchange.
