Tracheal ectasia, commonly referred to as tracheobronchomegaly in medical terminology, is a rare respiratory condition characterized by abnormal dilation of the trachea and main bronchi. This pathological expansion is attributed to structural weakness in the cartilaginous and muscular layers of the airway walls, often leading to impaired mucociliary clearance and recurrent infections. Clinically, patients may present with chronic cough, dyspnea, and increased susceptibility to respiratory tract infections. Diagnosis typically relies on radiographic imaging such as CT scans, which reveal tracheal diameters exceeding normal limits (≥3 cm in adults).
From a lexicographical perspective, the Chinese term "气管扩张" (qìguǎn kuòzhāng) directly translates to "tracheal dilation" in English. The condition is also known as Mounier-Kuhn syndrome when congenital in origin. Treatment strategies focus on symptom management, including airway clearance techniques and antibiotics for infections.

气管扩张通常指支气管扩张,是一种以支气管结构破坏和持久性扩张为特征的慢性呼吸系统疾病。以下是综合多个医学来源的详细解释:
支气管扩张是由于急慢性感染、阻塞或牵拉导致支气管壁弹性组织受损,形成不可逆的异常扩张。这种扩张可表现为柱状、囊状或混合型结构改变。
确诊需通过胸部CT检查,治疗以控制感染、促进排痰为主。若出现咳黄绿痰、咯血等症状,应及时到呼吸内科就诊。早期规范治疗可延缓肺功能下降,改善生活质量。
注:气管与支气管在解剖学上属于不同部位,临床上更常见的是支气管扩张,而非主气管扩张。以上信息综合自权威医学平台,具体诊疗请遵医嘱。
