[Unilateral lung aplasia--on the danger of diagnostic-therapeutic erroneous assessment. A case report].
A 6 month old infant with recurrent respiratory infections showed a strange chest x-ray film. After axial CT of the chest and bronchoscopy the diagnosis of aplasia of the right lung was established. The case report illustrates the high risk of malpractise in patients suspected of hypogenetic lung syndrome.
