Abstract:
Objective To evaluate CT diagnositic value for endo-bronchial tuberculosis(TB).Methods CT findings of 14 cases with endo-bronchial TB proved by fibro-bronscopy(FOB) were studied retrospectively.Results The bronchiarctia was seen at lobar bronchas or segmental bronchas in all 14 cases.Of them,in 6 cases,the bronchiarctia appeared as conic stenosis accompanied with atelactasis and a large amount of plearal effusions,in 8 cases,the bronchial walls were thichened including centrality stenosis in 3 cases,unilateral stenosis in 5 cases and accompanied with polyus in 3 cases.No hilar mass and opposite "S" sign were found.The "bronchial air sign" was showed at the area of ateectasis.9 cases were accompanied by active pulmonary TB(64.3%).Conclusion CT is of important value in diagnosing endo-bronchial TB and differentiating the tumorous or no-tumorous bronchiarctia,while the diagnonsis at early stage of this disease has to depend on FOB.
