Overview
There are three pathological types of bronchiectasis - Tubular/Fusiform, Varicose, and Saccular. The location can be local or general.
Classification
Based on Severity
There are three types of bronchiectasis, varying by level of severity.
- Tubular or Fusiform (cylindrical) bronchiectasis also known as follicular bronchiectasis (the most common type)
- Varicose bronchiectasis
- The bronchial walls appear beaded because areas of dilation are mixed with areas of constriction.[2]
- Saccular (cystic) bronchiectasis
- These arecharacterized by severe, irreversible ballooning of the bronchi peripherally, with or without air-fluid levels.[3]
Type | Features |
Tubular or Fusiform (cylindrical) bronchiectasis also known as follicular bronchiectasis (the most common type) | These are mildly inflamed bronchi that fail to taper distally[4] |
Varicose bronchiectasis | The bronchial walls appear beaded because areas of dilation are mixed with areas of constriction |
Saccular (cystic) bronchiectasis | These are characterized by severe, irreversible ballooning of the bronchi peripherally, with or without air-fluid levels |
Based on Location
- Localized
- Confined to one lobe
- Generalized
- Involves many lobes
