title: Congenital trifurcation of the trachea.
abstract: "Tracheal trifurcation" is a veritable and rare finding. We illustrate a unique case that demonstrates the complexity and broad variability that congenital tracheobronchial anomalies can take. Appreciation of these is important at intubation, bronchoscopy, and surgery.
