Ann Thorac Surg. 2014 Oct;98(4):1490-2. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2014.02.081.

Abstract

Tracheal diverticula are rare congenital or acquired abnormalities of the posterior tracheal wall. They are usually asymptomatic, and therefore treatment has not been widely reported. We describe the entity and surgical management of a symptomatic tracheal diverticulum.
