Abstract:
Congenital lobar emphysema (CLE) is a rare congenital anomaly of lung. It presents different respiratory symptoms due to affected lobar emphysema, compression atelectasis and mediastinal shift. It can affect one or more lobes. There is usually no typical clinical manifestation in clinic. Typical X-ray can help to diagnose. We report a case of neonatal CLE, which first appeared in the right middle lobar. After right middle lobe (RML) lobectomy, respiratory distress appeared again. Emphysema was found again in the left lower lung. The multiple lobes emphysema appear at different times, and this case occurred after lobectomy.
