Congenital lobar emphysema resulting from bronchial sling around a normal right main pulmonary artery

TG Canty

A 5-month-old female infant was transferred to our institution for evaluation of recurrent upper respiratory tract symptoms and chest x- ray films showing hyperaeration of the right upper lobe. Preoperative studies including chest fluoroscopy, lung scan, and bronchoscopy suggested congenital lobar emphysema. At thoracotomy, an anomalous right upper lobe bronchus which bifurcated around the main pulmonary artery in a sling fashion was found. This anatomic abnormality has not been described previously and is a unique cause of congenital lobar emphysema.
