Congenital lobar emphysema (CLE) is the overinflation of of one or more lung lobes, present from birth with a lung histologically normal. The left upper lobe is most frequently affected.
The causes are varied but are all linked to an abnormal intrauterine development. The common mechanism includes obstruction of a lobar or segmental bronchus with valve mechanism that results in gas trapping with with overdistension of the lung and tissue destruction.
