RESUMEN
En un estudio de 1200 broncogramas completos, bilaterales y consecutivos fueron encontradas 27 anomalías mayores en 24 sujetos, con una desproporción de tres anormalidades en el lado izquierdo por 24 en el derecho.
En tres pacientes con anomalías dobles cada uno presentaba una afectando a la traquea. Se observaron 105 anomalías menores, que son enumeradas. De estas 52 radicaban en el lado derecho y 53 en el izquierdo.
Aproximadamente el 10% de los sujetos broncografiados presentaban algun tipo de
ZUSAMMENFASSUNG
Bei einer Überprüfung von 1200 aufeinanderfolgenden, beiderseitigen, kompletten Bronchographien wurden bei 24 Patienten 27 grössere Anomalien festgestellt. Es bestand ein Missverhältnis von 3 Abnormitäten auf der linken Seite zu 24 auf der rechten Seite. Bei jedem der drei Patienten mit zweifacher Anomalie ging eine Anomalie mit Tracheabeiteiligung einher. In 105 Fällen fanden sich kleinere Anomalien, die listenmässig aufgeführt wurden. Sie verteilten mit 52 Anomalien auf die rechte und 53 auf

In microtia patients, the frequences of Tracheal bronchus is much higher than Preeparterial bronchus (2.5% versus 0.5%), which is different from the general population (0.9% versus 0.4% in a study of 1200 bronchograms by Atwell [14]). All of the 7 cases of T/BBA existed on the right side.
