THE SYNDROME OF BRONCHIAL MUCOCELE AND REGIONAL HYPERINFLATION OF THE LUNG

Abstract
The clinical, roentgenographic and pathologic findings in 2 children with bronchial atresia and bronchial mucocele are presented and the literature on the subject is briefly reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the derangement of regional ventilation which results in focal hyperinflation of the lung. The similarities and differences between mucoid impaction of the bronchus and bronchial mucocele are also discussed.
