Abstract
Tracheobronchomegaly (Mounier–Kuhn syndrome) is a rare disease characterized by dilatation of the trachea and major bronchi because of atrophy or absence of elastic fibers and smooth muscle cells. The clinical signs are diverse and not very specific. Imaging provides a positive diagnosis. We present a case of 40 year old male who presented with intermittent episodes of cough with productive sputum, wheezing and breathing difficulty since last 35 years and he was treated for Bronchial Asthma since last 25 years. He was later diagnosed with Mounier–Kuhn syndrome with Bronchial Asthma by clinical history supported by Radiological evidences.
