Mounier Kuhn syndrome (MKS) is a rare airway disease characterized by dilated trachea and the main bronchi. Our case report is to report a 57-year-old male, ex-smoker with chronic cough and recurrent chest infections. CT thorax showed dilated trachea, main bronchi with central bronchiectasis and emphysema and forced spirometry reveals obstructive airway disease. The treatment is supportive, clinical presentation is nonspecific and the diagnosis is based on radiological findings.
