title: Surgical correction of congenital lobar emphysema in a dog.
abstract: Massive lobar emphysema in the middle lobe of the right lung was observed in a dog brought to our clinic with sudden onset of tension pneumothorax, and lobectomy was performed to excise it. Pathological examination resulted in a diagnosis of congenital bronchiectasis associated with bronchial cartilage hypoplasia. Two cases of diagnosis and successful treatment of congenital lobar emphysema have been reported in dogs.
