Abstract：Objective To explore the value of multi‐detector spiral CT in diagnosis of tracheal diverticulum .Methods We colleced 92 cases of the tracheal diverticula by clinically proven and retrospectively reviewed their features of CT .Re‐sults The size of tracheal diverticulum ranged from 0 .3 to 3 .5 cm diameter ,with an average of about 1 .2 cm ,of which 19 cases were more than 2 .0 cm .53 cases of diverticula were irregular ,17 cases were round ,14 cases were oval ,8 cases were vesicular ;within the diverticulum‐like or honeycomb cysts ,housing allocation changes were shown and the ridge‐like ,fold‐like structures or changes were seen in 28 cases ,diverticulitis complicated by infection and the fluid level was seen in 1 case .Conclusion Multislice spiral CT has practical value for the diagnosis of tracheal diverticulum .
