Abstract
Duplication of the trachea is an extremely rare condition that has been infrequently reported in the medical literature. We report an adult case with complete tracheal duplication associated with unilateral atelectasis, which was incidentally detected by computed tomography. Tracheal duplication should be considered as a possible cause of severe atelectasis in adults.Mesh:
