title: [Cough-syncope syndrome in tracheobronchomalacia].
abstract: A 40-year-old man, referred for treatment of syncope due to cough, was found to have generalized tracheobronchomalacia. The diagnosis was based on an abnormal collapsibility of the trachea and bronchi on bronchoscopic examination. The detailed investigations confirmed the diagnosis of cough-syncope syndrome due to tracheobronchomalacia. Based on this case the causes, symptoms and possible treatment of those clinical entities are discussed.
