A Rare Cause of Respiratory Failure in Newborn: Congenital Lober Amphysema

Abstract

Congenital lobar emphysema is a rare anomaly that causes

respiratory insufficiency symptoms due to overflow of a lobe of

the lung. We present a case of lobar emphysema involving the

left upper lobe, which was brought by tachypnea, intercostal

retraction and acidosis, and which underwent emergency

lobectomy. Although congenital lobar emphysema is one of the

rare pathologies among the causes of acute respiratory failure

in childhood, it is an anomaly that must be kept in mind because

of the need for emergency lobectomy.
