A Rare Bronchoscopic Image of Bronchiectasis

Abstract

Bronchiectasis is the permanent dilatation of the bronchi, which is classified into cylindrical, varicose, and cystic bronchiectasis. Hence, it is a rare opportunity to visualize structural bronchoscopic finding in a case of bronchiectasis. Awareness of this image helps bronchoscopists to identify and classify this bronchoscopic appearance of bronchiectasis.
