Abstract Background Congenital lobar emphysema (CLE) is a congenital pulmonary cystic disease, characterized by overinflation of the pulmonary lobe and compression of the surrounding areas. Most patients with symptoms need an urgent surgical intervention. Caution and alertness for CLE is required in cases of local emphysema on chest X-ray images of extremely premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Case presentation Here, we report a case of premature infant with 27 + 4 weeks of gestational age who suddenly presented with severe respiratory distress at 60 days after birth. Chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT) indicated emphysema in the middle lobe of the right lung. The diagnosis of CLE was confirmed by histopathological examinations. Conclusions Although extremely premature infants have high-risk factors of bronchopulmonary dysplasia due to their small gestational age, alertness for CLE is necessary if local emphysema is present. Timely pulmonary CT scan and surgical interventions should be performed to avoid the delay of the diagnosis and treatment.

Symptoms And Signs

Pulmonary venous stenosis has been a challenge to paediatric cardiologists and surgeons. In spite of significant improvements in the management and outcome of various congenital cardiac problems, the prognosis of this condition continues to be dismal. Acquired stenosis of the pulmonary veins has been described in the adult population, especially after radiofrequency ablation for atrial arrhythmias. The outcome of this condition has generally been described to be favourable in the long term. Acquisition of pulmonary venous stenosis in childhood has a very different outcome, and is not a very well recognised entity, with symptoms and signs which are non-specific. We present 7 infants who, when first assessed, had normal pulmonary veins, but who subsequently acquired stenoses of the veins, with very significant resultant morbidity and mortality.
