Abstract We report on the usefulness of spiral computed tomography (CT) with 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction in the diagnosis of tracheobronchial abnormalities based on three cases of children with congenital tracheobronchial strictures. Images were reconstructed using a curved planar reformat and shaded surface display. The images obtained from our three cases of tracheal stenosis, subglottic stenosis and tracheobronchial strictures were extremely clear. Spiral CT with 3D reconstruction provides excellent anatomic delineation of the tracheobronchial airway, and is safe and less invasive than tracheobronchography.
