In this study, we aimed at evaluating trakeobronchial changes in cases of chronic obstructive lungs disease (KOAH) with computer tomography (BT). In the period between August 2018 and February 2019, the Respiratory Function Test (SFT) and the Torax BT examination were evaluated as retrospective for 144 patients. Patients were divided into two groups, obstructive and normally, according to the SFT results. The size, weight and body mass index (VKI) of the groups were recorded. In the Toraks BT tests, the transversal length of the tracean (TTU), anteroposterior length (TAU), the traceal index (TI), the right-left traceobrochial angle (TBA), the interbronchial angle (IBA) values and the traceal morphology were recorded. These parameters are compared between the groups. The findings of 144 patients included in the study in 52 cases (46 men, 6 women; middle age, 63.9 y) KOAH, while 92 of them (66.3) (53 men, 39 women; middle age, 62,5y) had normal SFT results. Between these two groups, there was no statistically significant difference in terms of average age, size, body weight, VKI, TTU, right-left TBA and IBA values (p> 0.104). The TAU and TI values were statically significantly high (p <0,001). Furthermore, in the cases with KOAH there was a significant high frequency flated morphology (p <0,001).   The result is that TI and TAU values are increasing in relation to KOAH and in cases with KOAH more frequently observed tracheal morphology smoothness.
