Abstract

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): 63-69)
