Tracheal trifurcation: new cases and review of the literature
ConclusionTracheal trifurcation is rare and often associated with additional disorders, such as other tracheobronchial anomalies, cardiovascular defects or esophageal malformations, responsible for clinical manifestations and earlier detection. Bronchoscopy is often used for diagnosis, but is invasive and may be incomplete or inconclusive, while CT allows for a noninvasive and correct diagnosis, while also highlighting additional findings in the thorax.
