Case of acquired lobar emphysema mimicking pneumothorax in a neonate.

چکیده
Despite the improvements in prevention of acute respiratory disease in preterm infants, the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains largely unchanged. Acquired lobar emphysema (ALE) is an increasingly recognized complication of advanced BPD. Barotrauma, oxygen toxicity and lung immaturity are presumed to play an important role in the development of ALE in children with BPD and most cases present overinflation [1,2]. We report on an infant with BPD who developed ALE mimicking pneumothorax.
