ABSTRACT
Congenital lobar emphysema [CLE] is one of congenital lung malformations and is characterized by overdistension and airtrapping in the affected lobe. It is one of the causes of neonatal and infantile respiratory distress. This study was performed on 10 children with congenital lobar emphysema with a age range from 2 days to 7 months. The age of the first presentation was the neonatal period. It is frequently diagnosed in males. Tachypnea and dyspnea were present in all cases. The diagnosis was confirmed by Chest x-ray and computed tomography of the chest. All patients underwent total lobectomy or segmental resection. All cases survived after operation without early or late post operative complication
