Mounier-Kuhn syndrome

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

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.
