Abstract
A case of congenital lobar emphysema associated with pulmonary sequestration, presenting with respiratory distress in infancy, is reported. The lobar hyperinflation was managed by emergency lobectomy. The ipsilateral lower lobe affected with vascular sequestration was salvaged by therapeutic embolization, thus avoiding the long-term sequelae of pneumonectomy. The case is reported for its rarity.Entities:
