- Abstract
The article discusses the use of the rat tail sign to describe the radiological appearance of bronchial and tracheal stenosis. One study described the rat tail narrowing of the bronchi on bronchography as a narrowed bronchus without normal branching distally. The rat tail sign indicates tracheal stenosis in severe tracheobronchomalcia, while tracheobronchial webs represent stenosis of an airway by a thin band.
