title: [Tracheobronchomegaly (Mounier-Kuhn syndrome)].
abstract: A case report is presented of a man with pronounced tracheobronchomegaly who has had respiratory symptoms since childhood. In spite of numerous medical examinations a disease remains undetected for many years. Authors bring up different standpoints about etiology and the most often accepted hypothesis about the autosomal recessive inheritance. They also point their attention to a small number of diagnosed cases despite high prevalence (0,4-1%) and typical symptoms.
