| Abstract | ||||
| Background: A diverse range of lesions with varying char-acteristics can damage the major airways. These lesions may cause extrinsic or intrinsic compromise of the airway, some disease may affect the airway in diffuse or focal manner, some cause narrowing of the airway and others presented with ab-normal airway widening. A few of these diseases may be sub-clinical for extended periods of time or diagnosed accidentally, while others might induce airway obstruction symptoms. Aim of Study: This study aimed to discuss most of the vari-ous tracheal & bronchial lesions encountered in multislice com-puted tomography and virtual bronchoscopy. Conclusion: Multislice computed tomography and virtual bronchoscopy offer a very reliable & non-invasive technique for the assessment of tracheobronchial lesions. | ||||
