Abstract:
We describe a preterm infant (31 weeks' gestation) with unilateral pulmonary emphysema. Bronchoscopy showed no bronchial obstruction. After 20 days of right-sided high-frequency oscillating ventilation, the emphysema in the left lung had completely resolved and the patient could be extubated.
