Résumé
Mounier Kuhn Syndrome or tracheobronchomegaly is a rare disease, characterized by dilatation of the trachea and the main bronchi. Our study concerns a case of 67-years old male patient, smoker, with a chronic cough. Chest scan was requested; it shows an enlargement of the tracheal clarity and the two main bronchi. Meanwhile, the Functional respiratory exploration was normal. The treatment includes mucolytics and pulmonary physiotherapy. Mounier-Kuhn syndrome is rare and the clinical signs are not specific, the positive diagnosis is purely radiological. The treatment is about to free the airways to prevent infection.
