“剑鞘”气管：胸内气管显着冠状变窄的临床和功能研究。

数据来自13例胸内气管明显冠状面狭窄伴相应矢状径增宽的患者。术语“刀鞘”气管描述了这种畸形，可以模拟纵隔肿块。每例患者均无纵隔肿块，但存在阻塞性肺异常，无论是临床诊断（11/13），功能异常（10/11）或两者兼而有之（8/11），均提示“刀鞘”气管可能是慢性阻塞性肺疾病的有用体征。
Data are presented from thirteen patients with marked coronal narrowing of the intrathoracic trachea associated with widening of the corresponding sagittal diameter. The term "saber-sheath" trachea describes this deformity which can simulate a mediastinal mass. The absence of mediastinal masses and the presence of obstructive pulmonary abnormalities in each patient, either as a clinical diagnosis (11 of 13), functional abnormality (10 of 11) or both (8 of 11), suggest that the "saber-sheath" trachea may be a useful sign of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
