Background: Tuberculous lymphadenopathy causing airway obstruction in children may be life threatening and may require surgical enucleation of the lymph glands. There are no studies investigating the radiological picture post-enucleation. We attempt to explore this area in our study. Method: A retrospective study of the imaging in 21 paediatric cases having undergone tuberculosis (TB) lymph node enucleation. Results: Bronchus intermedius (BI) stenosis was present in 95% of patients undergoing enucleation followed by left main bronchus (LMB) (81%) and right main bronchus (RMB) (67%) stenosis. Right lung collapse/consolidation occurred more frequently (48鈥?2%) than left-lung collapse/consolidation (10鈥?4%). Resolution of BI stenosis and...
