| Popis: |
Congenital bronchial atresia is an infrequent pulmonary anomaly usually characterized with a blindly terminating bronchus, mucoid impaction, and hyperinflation of the peripheral pulmonary parenchyma. It is usually diagnosed incidentally in asymptomatic young adults males but is rarely diagnosed in children. Pectus excavatum is the most frequent deformity of the thorax. However, bronchial atresia together with pectus excavatum is a rare condition. Costisternal retraction to overcome the obstruction in bronchial atresia can lead to hyperinflated lung parts which can be a cause of pectus excavatum. Herein we presented a six years old girl with congenital bronchial atresia presented with a cystic lesion on thorax computerized tomography and pectus excavatum, which are rarely defined together in the literature. Nuss procedure was performed for correction of pectus excavatum. Right middle and superior lobectomy was succesfully performed for bronchial atresia. |
