Abstract

Bridging bronchus (BB) is an extremely rare tracheobronchial anomaly. This anomaly is often associated with a sling left pulmonary artery (SLPA) and is diagnosed in infancy or at autopsy. A 29-year-old female patient with previous history of pulmonary tuberculosis was admitted because of persistent fever, cough and sputum. Fiberoptic bronchoscope and chest computed tomography revealed a bridging bronchus and associated atelectasis. The right middle and lower lobe was supplied by a bronchus which originates from the left main bronchus and bridges the mediastinum. There was no anomaly of a left pulmonary artery. Right middle and lower bilobectomy was performed.

다리기관지는 상당히 드문 기관지 기형으로 종종 슬링좌폐동맥과 동반되며 대부분 영아에서 진단되거나 부검에서 발견된다. 본 증례는 29세 여자 환자로 과거력상 특이병력이 없었으며 2년 전 폐결핵을 치료한 뒤 최근 한 달간의 발열, 기침, 가래를 주소로 내원하여 시행한 기관지내시경 및 흉부 전산화단층촬영 검사에서 다리기관지와 이와 동반된 무기폐로 진단되었다. 다리기관지는 좌측 주기관지에서 기시하여 종격동을 지나 우중엽과 우하엽과 연결되어 있었으며 동반된 폐동맥이상은 없었다. 수술은 우중엽 및 하엽 이엽절제술을 시행하였다.
