Congenital conditions of the major airways are very uncommon. Tracheal bronchus is the commonest,it affects 0.1-2% of the population. Usually asymptomatic but especially in childhood they may present with cough, recurrent infections, or hemoptysis. We describe a 25-years-old male trauma patient with a right -sided tracheal bronchus arising from the lateral wall of the trachea (Conacher’s carinal trifurcation TYPEIII) found incidentally on routine chest radiography upon admission to intensive care unit which confirmed by chest computed tomography and bronchoscopy . In adults with tracheal bronchus, the main concerns are complications during endotracheal intubation, risk of obstructive pneumonia, prolong hypoxia, lung neoplasms and the association with cardiovascular, renal and other congenital anomalies.
