What's Your Diagnosis?

  • Oval, thin-walled, gas filled structure at the level of the mid portion of the intrathoracic portion of the trachea.
  • Dx: Tracheal avulsion and diverticulum. Rare disease, likely result of a cervical or thoracic blunt trauma. The focal avulsion with the presence of an intact tracheal adventitia creates the diverticulum. May have delayed clinical signs.
