Hugo Alejandro Vega Ortega, Nelson de Araújo Vega, Jece Comparini, Leonardo Vieira do Carmo, Luciano Penha Pereira

ABSTRACT

Air cysts abnormally emerging from the trachea and/or larger bronchi is an extremely rare disease. Only a few isolated cases of paratracheal air cysts associated with chronic lung diseases have been described in the literature. The aim of this communication is to describe two cases of this rare, clinical entity in members of the same family. The father of the patients died from this disease at 43 years of age and his two daughters are currently under treatment. The clinical findings are similar to those of chronic pulmonary suppuration syndrome. The diagnosis was established by bronchovideoscopy, axial CT with 3D reconstitution and virtual bronchoscopy. The patients are under observation and palliative treatment is being administered.

Keywords: Lung diseases. Cysts. Trachea. Bronchi. Bronchoscopy. Computed tomography.

RESUMO

Cistos aéreos que emergem anormalmente da traquéia e/ou brônquios de maior calibre são doença extremamente rara. Na literatura encontram-se poucas descrições de casos isolados de cistos paratraqueais associados a pneumopatias crônicas. Relatamos dois casos dessa entidade clínica, rara, em membros de uma mesma família: o pai das pacientes faleceu dessa doença com 43 anos de idade e as duas filhas encontram-se em tratamento. O quadro clínico é semelhante ao da supuração pulmonar crônica. O diagnóstico foi firmado através de broncovideoscopia e tomografia computadorizada de tórax com reconstrução em 3D e broncoscopia virtual. As pacientes estão sob observação e tratamento clínico paliativo.
