The aim of this report is to determine frequency and clinical characteristics of Congenital lobar emphysema [CLE] at Children's Hospital of Tunis Cases of CLE managed between January the 1st 1994 until December the 31 St 2004 were reviewed. Amongst 31 cases of cystic pulmonary malformations we report 17 CLE. They were 12 males and 5 females. The mean age at diagnosis was 41/2 months [20 days, 22 months] Symptoms were progressive respiratory distress [n=11]; recurrent attacks of dyspnea [n=5] pulmonary infection [n=1]. Chest X ray and CT scans showed hyper aeration of the affected lobes. Three patients had two affected lobes. CLE was associated to bronchogenic cyst [n=2] and to congenital cardiac anomalies [n=3]. All patients underwent lobectomy. Post operative course was uneventful in 16 children. CLE is an uncommon cause of respiratory distress in neonates and infants. CLE is the most common cystic pulmonary malformation in our institution
