Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 52
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF CASE Mounier-Kuhn Syndrome (MKS) is an unwonted disorder of obscure aetiology signalised by constellation of marked tracheal dilatation, tracheal diverticulum and associated bronchiectasis. Its pathogenesis is postulated to be enrooted in aberrant connective tissue proliferation. Chronic cough with sputum production, recurrent lower respiratory tract infections and spontaneous pneumothoraces trademark the clinical picture. Bronchiectasis is the customary pattern of lung involvement. However, pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema could also could be encountered infrequently. We hereby report a divergent presentation of this syndrome with exhibition of a combination of bronchiectasis and emphysema.
