Congenital bronchial atresia is a rare congenital obliteration of a segmental or lobar bronchus resulting in distension of the corresponding parenchyma. It is seldom diagnosed in the adult. It may lead to infectious complications and, in the long term, to damage to the adjacent lung parenchyma. A surgical resection is necessary and it can be achieved by thoracoscopy. We report a recent series of six patients.

D011656 Pulmonary Emphysema Enlargement of air spaces distal to the TERMINAL BRONCHIOLES where gas-exchange normally takes place. This is usually due to destruction of the alveolar wall.
