Abstract:
The subject of our article is bronchial stenosis as a consequence of endobronchial tuberculosis. Appearance of possible mechanisms of endobronchial tuberculosis infection include a direct hit in the bronchus from the adjacent lung parenchyma
damage, erosion and protrusion of hyperplastic intrathoracic lymph node in the lumen of the bronchus and hematogenous spread [1, 2, 3, 4]. One of the complications of the endobronchial tuberculosis is bronchial stenosis.
Computed tomography (CT) and bronchofibroscopy are the main methods for determining the central airways. Some authors choose the use of conventional CT as a guide for bronchoscopy helping optimize the diagnostic approach and therapeutic procedures. Virtual bronchoscopy can define the condition of all levels of the respiratory tract beginning from the upper airway and finishing to the lungs [5, 6]. In the present review of article was gathered and analyzed by the data cover 10 years of practice of bronchologist scientists and TB specialists from around the world.
