Abstract
•
Tracheal bronchi are asymptomatic and require no medical nor surgical intervention.
•
They may present with recurrent chest infections, stridor or may incidentally be found after foreign body aspiration.
•
Awareness of the features of tracheal bronchus is crucial to maintain the airway and prevent any perioperative complications it may imply.
•
Tracheal bronchus should be suspected in cases of atelectasis, hypoxemia, or both following endotracheal intubation.
