The radiological imaging of bronchial atresia.
The clinical and radiological findings in three cases of bronchial atresia are presented. Bronchial atresia has a characteristic plain radiographic appearance in the majority of cases. Computed tomography may be required to confirm the diagnosis. The condition often presents to the radiologist as an incidental finding on the chest radiograph in a patient undergoing investigation for an unrelated problem.
