Congenital lobar emphysema.
J Pak Med Assoc Jan ;66(2):210-2.

Congenital lobar emphysema is a rare variety of congenital malformation of lung characterized by over distension of a lobe of the lung due to partial obstruction of the bronchus. It is one of the rare causes of infantile respiratory distress requiring surgical resection of affected lobe. We are reporting the case of an 8-week-old baby who presented with respiratory distress related to CLE affecting the left upper lobe. Lobectomy was performed under general anaesthesia followed by an uneventful recovery.
