title: [Middle lobe syndrome].
abstract: The authors, based on their actual experience with four cases and using previously published articles, state the pathological and clinical features of the middle lobe syndrome. Considering the physio-pathological processes, the authors determine the therapeutic program: the first approach would be pharmacological, second, if necessary, surgical-seeking to be as conservative as possible.
