A Case Series of Congenital Lobar Emphysema: Antenatal Diagnosis and Postnatal Management
Dr. Mridulika Verma, Dr. Santosh B. Kurbet
Abstract: Congenital lobar emphysema is a congenital abnormality caused by overinflation of a pulmonary lobe. This commonly presents in the antenatal and neonatal period. Respiratory distress in newborn poses a challenge and more so is the diagnosis of this condition, as one of its rare cause, only possible with high index of suspicion and appropriate investigations. Once diagnosis is made, treatment is by emergency lobectomy, and cure is possible in such cases. We present here 5 such cases in infants, which were treated by surgery.
Keywords: Respiratory distress newborn, congenital lobar emphysema, lobectomy
