Abstract
- Congenital bronchial atresia is one of the rare bronchopulmonary anomalies which is thought to be caused by a vascular insult of uncertain timing during fefal development. It is defined as an anomaly which does not have communication between a segmental or lobar bronchus and the main airway. Because of the collateral ventilation, almost all of these cases show hyperlucency of the involved segment or lobe in chest roentgenogram. We report an extremely rare case of congenital bronchial atresia with collapse of the right upper lobe which was treated by surgical resection.
