A case of 3 contiguous diverticula of the right posterior wall of the upper trachea is reported. The earlier literature on this subject and the different classifications described are studied. Congenital genesis of the tracheal diverticula is suggested by their localisation and histologic bronchial elements, and by embryogenesis and anomalies of the trachea. They are presumed to correspond to a rudimentary, extra, apical bronchis.
