Bronchial web diagnosed by bronchography.
Bronchial webs are rare lesions which often go unrecognized. The authors describe a patient who presented with right-lower-lobe bronchiectasis and at-electasis secondary to a web in the right-lower-lobe bronchus. This is the first known instance where such a lesion has been demonstrated by bronchography. The etiology of this and similar lesions reported in the literature remains obscure.
