[A case of tracheopathia osteoplastica]

A case of tracheopathia osteoplatica in a 43-year-old man, detected incidentally at the upper gastrointestinal examination was reported. The examination showed a long segment esophageal compression from a paraesophageal lesion. CT was effective to demonstrate the typical narrowing and wall thickening of the trachea, and to demonstrate that the esophageal compression was caused by the deformed trachea.
