Article information

Tracheal diverticulum is a clinical entity rarely reported in the literature. It results from a congenital or acquired weakness of the tracheal wall. Most tracheoceles cause few symptoms and are well tolerated. Diagnosis is often based on computerized tomography (CT) scan findings.

We describe a case of a middle-aged male presenting nonspecific pharyngeal discomfort. Adiagnosis of tracheal diverticulum was made based on a cervical CT scan.

Key words:
Tracheal diverticulum
Computerized tomography
Tracheal wall

El divertículo traqueal es una entidad clínica raramente descrita en la literatura. Su origen es una debilidad congénita o adquirida de la pared traqueal. La mayoría de los divertículos traqueales producen poca clínica y son bien tolerados. La base del diagnóstico es los hallazgos radiológicos obtenidos por tomografía computarizada.

Presentamos el caso de un varón de mediana edad al que, por molestias faríngeas inespecíficas, se diagnostica divertículo traqueal mediante tomografía cervical.

Palabras clave:
Divertículo traqueal
Tomografía computarizada
Pared traqueal
