A Review of Management of Congenital Sublobar Hyperinflation at a Single Institution
Am Surg. 2024 Mar 28:31348241241743. doi: 10.1177/00031348241241743. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere has been an increased recognition of a subset of congenital lobar emphysema (CLE), termed congenital sublobar hyperinflation (CSLH), which may affect only a segment of lung as opposed to an entire lobe. This is an uncommon variant for which there is a paucity of information in published literature. The majority of CLE are managed surgically. Current literature suggests non-operative management for CSLH. However, there has been slow adoption of non-operative management and there is not a well-established observation path...

Congenital lobar emphysema: A diagnostic dilemma with coexistent congenital heart defects
Key Clinical MessageClinicians should think beyond pneumonia and left-to-right shunts when young children have persistent respiratory distress. Congenital lung anomalies, including congenital lobar emphysema, should be considered differential diagnoses. Chest X-ray and CT imaging should be conducted to gain insight regarding and establish diagnosis, respectively.AbstractCongenital lobar emphysema (CLE) is a rare and life-threatening congenital lung anomaly that often poses a diagnostic dilemma. The issue can be further confused with coexistent congenital heart defects (CHDs) with left-to-right shunts. The clinical presenta...

Congenital lung malformations: a nationwide survey on management aspects by the Italian Society of Pediatric Surgery
ConclusionThoracoscopic approach seems uniform in asymptomatic CLM patients and variable in symptomatic children. Lack of uniformity in surgical timing and preoperative imaging assessment has been identified as key areas to establish a common national pattern of care for CLM.

Chronic respiratory disorders due to aberrant innominate artery: a case series and critical review of the literature
ConclusionsTC caused by AIA may be responsible for unexplained chronic respiratory disease in childhood. Early diagnosis of AIA can decrease the use of expensive investigations or unsuccessful treatments, reduce disease morbidity, and accelerate the path toward a proper treatment.

Congenital Lobar Emphysema Developing Massive Hemoptysis in Adulthood Treated by Thoracoscopic Lobectomy
We present a case of a 26 year old otherwise healthy female with known CLE who developed massive hemoptysis and required urgent videoscopic (VATS) resection of her right lung upper lobe. We know of no other report of CLE causing life-threatening bleeding at any age, and herein review pathology and pathophysiology of the condition.PMID:36852729 | DOI:10.1177/00031348231160837 (Source: The American Surgeon)

Wheezing for weeks: respiratory distress in an infant
Clinical introduction A previously healthy infant presented to the ED with 1 day of respiratory distress following 2 weeks of wheezing. Review of systems was negative for cough, congestion, fever and difficulty feeding. He had subcostal and intercostal retractions, grunting, shallow chest rise, tachypnoea (RR 70–80), HR of 157, BP 127/100 and normal temperature. He became lethargic, tachycardic (230) and BP dropped to 74/35. Left needle decompression was attempted without air return. BP and HR improved, but the patient remained tachypnoeic. CXR was performed (figure 1). Question Based on history and imaging findings,...

Management of Congenital Lung Malformations
This article will focus on the following malformations: congenital pulmonary airway malformations, formally known as congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations, bronchopulmonary sequestration, congenital lobar emphysema, and bronchogenic cyst. Each of these malformations will be defined and examined from an embryologic, pathophysiologic, and clinical management perspective unique to that specific lesion. A review of current recommendations in both medical and surgical management of these lesions will be discussed as well as widely accepted treatment algorithms. (Source: Clinics in Perinatology)

Congenital lobar emphysema case report: A frequently misdiagnosed disease
CONCLUSION: Congenital Lobar Emphysema requires a high index of clinical and radiological suspicion to make an early diagnosis so that timely treatment will be offered.PMID:35600173 | PMC:PMC9121231 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2022.103766 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Musculoskeletal and esthetic complications after neonatal thoracotomy: Revisited
Conclusion: Neonatal thoracotomy is associated with complications such as pneumonia, wound infections, and musculoskeletal abnormalities such as asymmetry of chest and scoliosis. These can be prevented by adequate postoperative pain relief, muscle-sparing thoracotomies, avoiding tight closures, and nerve injuries. Long-term follow-up is required because these complications may manifest later on also. Early detection and institution of physiotherapy may help.
