Recurrent wheezing is very common in infants. When these symptoms appear early without a free interval, a pulmonary malformation should be investigated. Congenital lobar emphysema is a rare abnormality of the lower respiratory tract. Here, we report a case series of six cases of congenital lobar emphysema between 2015 and 2023. Clinical and radiological data were collected according to an operating sheet previously established in our pediatric pneumo-allergology unit. They all had recurrent wheezing and dyspnea. Chest radiography and chest CT were consistent with the diagnosis of congenital lobar emphysema. All patients had lobectomy without complications.
