Abstract

Mounier-Kuhn syndrome is an uncommon respiratory syndrome characterised by dilatation of tracheobronchial pathway. We report the case of a 25-year-old man who had history of recurrent chest infection in form of cough and fever since childhood. Computed tomography of chest revealed tracheal dilation and hence diagnosis of this rare syndrome was made.
