ABSTRACT
Congenital lobar emphysema is a rare disease and a cause of respiratory disturbance in newborns and infancts. The common locations of pulmonary involvement are the left upper lobe, right middle and upper lobe. We experienced a case of congenital lobar emphysema in a 9-month-old male infant. Chief complaints were dyspnea and tachypnea. Chest X-ray or CT scan revealed a hyperinflated right lower lobe, mediastinal shift to the left side and retrosternal herniaton of right lung. There was no evidence of infection and foreign body. This patient was successfully treated with right lower lobectomy. We report this case with a brief review of related literatures.
