ABSTRACT

Congenital lobar emphysema results from hyperinsufflation and air trapping in an otherwise histologically normal lobe, secondary to a bronchial valvular mechanism. It induces compression of normal lung and mediastinal shift. We present the case of a 45 day old male infant seen due to non-specific respiratory difficulty and pectus excavatum; the chest X-ray showed a hyperlucent right lung and mediastinal shift. The resected middle lobe showed lobar emphysema. He remains in good condition 29 months later.
