[Congenital lobar emphysema].
The paper reports on three cases of congenital lobular emphysema with warning respiratory manifestations as early as infancy. Starting from the clinical picture of respiratory distress, the diagnosis was established radiologically. The authors discuss the etiopathogenic aspects of the disease and its clinical-radiological manifestations, with the decisive role of the radiological exploration in diagnosis. The extension of respiratory dysfunction and the possible complications determine the opportunity of surgery.
