Definition:
Mounier-Kuhn Syndrome also know as tracheobronchomegaly is an infrequent and rare condition in which the size of the diameter in the trachea major bronchi and becomes abnormal due to the presence of atrophy or the elastic and muscular components within the wall of the trachea and bronchi, which gives rise to larger than normal airways that are easily infected and have mucous retention as well as recurring respiratory diseases.
Causes of Kunh syndrome
- Defect in Elastic Fibers/Connective Tissue:
The elastic fibers or connective tissue lining of the tracheal and bronchial walls may be defective.
- Associated Conditions:
Some patients may have associated connective tissue disorders such as Marfan Syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, or chronic lung conditions that may also contribute to airway weakness.
Types of Kuhn syndrome
Mounier-Kuhn Syndrome is generally classified into two types based on the extent of tracheobronchial dilation:
- Type I: Mild dilation of the trachea and major bronchi.
- Type II Gross dilatation with large bronchial diverticula, leading more frequently to severe respiratory secondary complications.
Mounier-Kuhn Syndrome symptoms and signs:
- Chronic Productive Cough: This is usually because of mucus produced within the dilated airways.
- Recurrent Respiratory Infections: Most patients will suffer from bacterial infections since the mucus does not evacuate the airways easily.
- Dyspnea: Shortness of breath especially when after exerting, is ascribed to the unnatural architecture of the airways.
- Hemoptysis: Expectation of cough with blood in more serious cases.
- Wheezing or Stridor: Due to obstruction or narrowing of the airways.

- Hypoxemia: Low oxygen levels due to poor ventilation.
- Chest Pain: Sometimes related to lung infections or inflammation.
- Clubbing of Fingers: In more severe cases which have been permitted to go on for several years, clubbing of the fingers may occur as a result of chronic hypoxia.
