Axial sections at (a) mid thoracic tracheal, (b) carinal, (c) infra-carinal and (d) cardiac levels, respectively. Lung window images depict increased trans-radiance of the lung parenchyma with sparse vascular markings on the left side, suggestive of air trapping. The right lung shows normal CT pattern. Also note mediastinal shift to the right side. Given images also depict presence of ETT in the trachea and right main stem bronchus. TR, trachea; RMB, right main bronchus; LMB, left main bronchus

The right lung, however, was normally aerated [Figures 1 and 2].
Axial sections (mediastinal window) at (a) carinal and (b) infra-carinal levels confirm the presence of ETT in the right main bronchus. Curved coronal (c) reconstruction (mediastinal window) clearly demonstrates the extent of the ETT in the thoracic trachea and right main stem bronchus. Volume rendered image (d) further confirms findings noted earlier. TR, trachea; RMB, right main bronchus; LMB, left main bronchus; ETT, endotracheal tube
