Abstract:
Amongst the endothoracic forms of Wegener's granulomatosis, tracheal, bronchial and above all mediastinal localisations are unusual. Such a case having a bad outcome is reported here. Computed Tomography (TDM) was used to assess the extend of pulmonary parenchymal involvement. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was superior to TDM for showing transmural infiltration of the tracheal and the origin of main bronchi.
