    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Pulmonology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Congenital lobar emphysema (CLE) is a rare condition presenting as a neonatal respiratory emergency.
    • It involves postnatal over-distension of one or more lung lobes in otherwise normal lungs.
    • This condition has not been previously reported in Indian medical literature.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the first case of congenital lobar emphysema in Indian medical literature.
    • To highlight the diagnostic utility of plain chest X-rays in identifying CLE.
    • To emphasize the importance of clinical awareness for prompt diagnosis and management.

    Main Methods:

    • Case presentation of a neonate diagnosed with CLE.
    • Review of diagnostic imaging, specifically plain X-ray studies.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Discussion of clinical presentation and management strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • The plain X-ray study showed characteristic findings, allowing for immediate diagnosis.
    • Increased clinical awareness and use of radiography have led to more frequent recognition of CLE.
    • The condition was successfully managed following diagnosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Congenital lobar emphysema is a critical diagnosis in neonates presenting with respiratory distress.
    • Characteristic radiographic findings enable swift diagnosis and intervention.
    • Increased awareness is crucial for timely recognition and management of CLE in infants.
