title: Bilateral congenital lobar emphysema: how should we proceed?
abstract: We report a case of a 4-week-old male infant who presented with increasing respiratory distress and was diagnosed to have bilateral congenital lobar emphysema on chest x-ray. Our approach to the surgical management in two sequential operations of left upper lobectomy followed by right middle lobectomy is discussed.
