Congenital lobar emphysema is a rare developmental anomaly of the lower respiratory tract that is characterized by hyperinflation of one or more of the pulmonary lobes. The diagnosis of Congenital Lobar Emphysema often can be diagnosed by chest radiograph and CT. Treatment of CLE with respiratory distress is the surgical resection of the affected lobe (Lobectomy). The prognosis is typically good to excellent. Here we present a case report for a newborn with cyanosis that starts immediately after birth.
