Mounier-Kuhn syndrome (also called tracheobronchomegaly) is a very rare^[1] disease of the lungs and airways where the trachea and bronchi become abnormally wide.^[2] This leads to sputum collection in the lungs which results in repeated chest infections and bronchiectasis.^[1]

[edit] History

The term "Mounier-Kuhn syndrome" derives from the characterization of the condition by Mounier-Kuhn in 1932, while the name "tracheobronchomegaly" was introduced by Katz et al. in 1962.^[3][4][5]
