Abstract
In a 2 1/2-year-old boy chest X-ray examination because of dyspnoea revealed hyperlucency of the left upper lobe with herniation of the hyperinflated lobe into the right hemithorax. Surgical exploration showed the upper lobe of the trilobed lung to be the site of congenital lobar emphysema, while the lingula and left lower lobe were collapsed. Left upper lobectomy was successfully performed.
