a case of endobronchial polyp mimicking congenital lobar emphysema in an infant
Authors
abstract
background: congenital lobar emphysema, also called infantile lobar emphysema, is a respiratory disease that occurs in infants when air enters the lungs and cannot leave easily. it results from cartilage deficiency and bronchomalacia causing distal air trapping and respiratory distress. in this study, we present a case of endobronchial polyp mimicking congenital lobar emphysema. case presentation: an 18-month old infant was admitted to the hospital due to sudden respiratory distress. chest x- ray showed left hemithorax lucency, mediastinal shift to the right side, left hemidiaphragm flattening, and left oblique fissure bulging to the superior. a broncoscopy showed polyp in the left lower bronchus and the biopsy of the lesion confirmed to be the polyp. conclusion: the findings of this case emphasize the value of bronchoscopy prior to lobectomy in cases of congenital lobar emphysema.

Over the past four years (1360-1364) we have surgically treated seven infants for lobar emphysema. The pathologic lesion in all patients was in upper lobe of the left lung. Respiratory distress and pneumonia are the cardinal symptoms of patients with this abnormality. Diagnosis is confirmed by chest x-ray. The treatment of choice is lobectomy of affected lobe.

BODY: A 2-month old, 4.1-kg baby girl was scheduled for right thoracotomy and lobectomy for congenital lobar emphysema. On preoperative physical exam, she was noted to be awake and tachypneic but not cyanotic. Her vital signs showed a blood pressure of 88/50, pulse rate of 110, respiratory rate of 58 with an oxygen saturation of 95% on 1 liter per minute of oxygen via nasal cannula. There was a...
