“…It results from a bronchial cartilage defect such as bronchial cartilage dysplasia, hypoplasia or complete aplasia 16. This leads to bronchial collapse or extraluminal bronchial compression 16–18. Collapse of the bronchial lumen occurs during expiration, trapping air with each breath, resulting in progressive hyperinflation of the associated lung lobe19 and peripheral emphysematous bullae 9.…”

Congenital lobar emphysema is a rare condition in dogs. A three-month-old pug presented with acute dyspnoea and radiographic findings diagnosed congenital lobar emphysema. Due to the patient’s rapidly deteriorating ventilation, an emergency right middle lung lobectomy was performed and recovery was uneventful. This case report describes the importance of making a prompt and accurate diagnosis of this condition, based on radiographic findings, to facilitate immediate treatment.

“…A hiperinsuflação que ocorre no enfisema lobar congénito é mais frequente no lobo superior esquerdo (43%), seguido pelos lobos médio (32%), superior direito (20%), podendo ser bilateral em 20% dos casos 1,2 . As causas ainda não são bem conhecidas e em 50% dos casos não é possível definir uma lesão anatomopatológica 3,4 .…”

“…Em virtude desta dificuldade, algumas teorias foram propostas na tentativa de se explicar as alterações vistas nesta doença, como: a redução do suporte cartilaginoso 5,6 , o aumento do número de alvéolos em cada ácino pulmonar 7 e ainda mecanismo valvular que não permitiria a saída do ar uma vez dentro do alvéolo. Os sintomas normalmente aparecem até aos 6 meses de vida e cursam com dispneia e insuficiência respiratória grave progressivas 1,8 , podendo necessitar de supor-…”

“…CLE can be observed as the result of congenital bronchial diseases such as primary bronchial stenosis/atresia and bronchomalacia. Secondary causes of CLE include meconium aspiration and the obstruction of mucous plaques and membranes (15)(16)(17). Although rare, bronchogenic cysts and mediastinal masses have also been shown to cause CLE (18).…”

Introduction:Congenital lobar emphysema (CLE) is a rare developmental lung malformation that involves the hyperaeration of one or more lung lobes due to partial obstruction and occurs at a rate of 1/20,000–30,000 live births.Here,we aimed to retrospectively examine the clinical, radiological, and bronchoscopy findings of patients with CLE who were diagnosed and treated with surgical or conservative approaches in our clinic to compare our results with those in the literature. Method:We examined the clinical, and radiological data and FB findings of the patients with CLE aged 0–18 years at our center between 2013 and 2020.We also examined the symptoms and findings recorded during the patients’ follow-up. Results:.The median age of 20 patients with CLE at diagnosis was 3.2 years (range, 1 day–17 years).Respiratory distress and mediastinal shift were more prominent in the patients who underwent surgery than the patients who were followed up conservatively and diagnosed at an early age (p = 0.001, p = 0.049, p = 0.001, respectively). Discussion: In line with studies in the literature, the pulmonary symptoms and CLE-related imaging findings in our study regressed during the conservative follow-up.We recommend clinicians consider performing a detailed anamnesis for patients with unresolved respiratory symptoms and unilateral or bilateral increased ventilation,along with appropriate imaging tests and examinations, and should consider CLE in the diagnosis.
