Abstract

A female patient with the novel coronavirus infection COVID-19 underwent a therapeutic and diagnostic bronchoscopy for an increasing non-resolving obstruction of the lower respiratory tract with bronchial secretions, which revealed tracheobronchial tree branching anomalies: the displaced tracheal bronchus (the proximal transposition of the right upper lobe bronchus, the accessory segmental bronchus of the middle lobe of the left lung, and the left accessory cardiac bronchus). The case is interesting since these anatomical anomalies were asymptomatic, the clinical presentations were due to the underlying disease.
