Bridging bronchus
Bridging
bronchus - a rare cause of recurrent wheezy bronchitis. A) 2-dimensional and B) 3-dimensional computed tomography reconstruction of the tracheo-bronchial system. Bridging bronchus (BB) originating in the left main-stem bronchus (LMB) crossed the mediastinum and provided the right lower and middle lobe. Trachea (T), right upper lobe bronchus (RUL), bifurcatio tracheae (BiT), tracheal stenosis (TS). Appropriate view of Figure 1 (*).

A bridging bronchus is a rare congenital bronchial anomaly where there is an anomalous bronchus to the right lung arising from the left main bronchus. It has a high association with right upper lobe bronchus (pig bronchus) and congenital cardiac and vascular malformations, particularly a left pulmonary artery sling.
The diagnosis is usually made in infants with respiratory distress, wheeze, chronic coughing or stridor. Patients may also present with apnea, cyanosis, or severe upper airway obstruction. Complications include recurrent pneumonia and chronic atelectasis.
