Congenital obstructive emphysema of the left lung associated with a mediastinal lymphatic cyst.
Congenital obstructive emphysema is an uncommon paediatric condition affecting usually a single lobe, occasionally multiple lobes bilaterally, and only rarely a whole lung. This case report describes a neonate with congenital obstructive emphysema of the left lung and an associated lymphatic cyst compressing the left main bronchus, who presented two hours after birth with severe respiratory dis...
full textCongenital 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.
full textFive cases of congenital lung cyst.
More than 150 cases of congenital lung cyst have been reported in the literature. In the majority the cysts were multiple and only about 14 cases have been described in which a large single cyst was present. There is considerable diversity of opinion regarding the aetiology of the condition. Some have attributed it to developmental abnormalities such as faulty development of the lymph vessels o...
full textCongenital Lobar Emphysema : a case Report
This case is a bout a neonate with respiratory distress and primary diagnosis of Pneumothorax who had Congenital Lobar Emphysema. This case was the basis to review the topic of Congenital Lobar Emphysema (CLE) and the corresponding literature, considering that this is an uncommon disease and although congenital lobar emphysema is rare, clinical awareness of this condition is important for early...
full textNew pathological findings in emphysema of childhood. 3. Unilateral congenital emphysema with hypoplasia--and compensatory emphysema of contralateral lung.
A quantitative study is here reported on the lungs of a child of 9 months with unilateral emphysema associated with hypoplasia, and with compensatory emphysema in the contralateral lung. The left lung was judged to show congenital hypoplasia because of the reduced number of bronchi and arteries, its small volume, and a total alveolar number less than that normally found at birth. This last was ...
full textAsymptomatic congenital oesophageal cyst infiltrating the lung: an unusual complication.
An asymptomatic 14-year-old boy presented with minor chest trauma. Chest X-ray showed opacity in the upper zone of the left lung. Further investigations with magnetic resonance imaging showed it to be a posterior mediastinal mass with a fistula to the lung, along with cystic changes in the left upper lobe of lung. Left upper lobectomy with excision of the mass was performed. Histological examin...
