Left Upper Lobectomy for Congenital Lobar Emphysema in a Low Weight Infant

الملخص EN

Congenital lobar emphysema (CLE) is a rare lung congenital malformation.

Differential diagnosis of the disease remains challenging in an infant with acute respiratory distress.

We report a case of a 3-week-old female infant with a weight of 2.1 kg who presented respiratory distress related to CLE.

Left upper lobectomy was performed and she had an uneventful recovery.
