Congenital Lobar Emphysema : a case Report
Authors
Abstract:
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 diagnosis and effective surgical treatment. Due to the severity of respiratory symptoms, congenital lobar emphysema often requires surgical treatment in the early stages of life.

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.

Congenital lobar emphysema (CLE) is a cause of respiratory distress in newborns and infants. In this study we presented a complicated case of CLE in a 35-day-old infant who was treated successfully with surgical intervention. We reviewed several articles and texts to offer a complete discussion about clinical and paraclinical aspects of this entity. (Tanaffos 2003; 2(5):

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 presentati...
