Abstract
Congenital lobar emphysema is a surgical emergency of infancy. It may be diagnosed without much difficulty and treated by lobectomy with gratifying success. The exact nature of the congenital defect in the bronchus should be revealed by a more thorough study of similar cases. If the condition is not suspected, it might readily be missed at routine autopsy, and consequently may occur more frequently than realized.Keywords
