description A tracheal diverticulum is a rare clinical entity that is mostly diagnosed incidentally in radiographic pictures. It is infrequently mentioned in literature because of its relatively asymptomatic presentation. Its etiology is mostly attributed to tracheal wall weakness, which could either be congenital or acquired. Here we present a case of a 26-year-old man who presented with chronic intermittent cough and was incidentally diagnosed to have a tracheal diverticulum on the radiographic pictures of a high-resolution computed tomography scan of the chest (HRCT chest).
