A case of lobar agenesis recognized following thraceobronchial foreign body aspiration

Abstract

A case of lobar agenesis of the left upper lobe of the lung in a 3 year- old girl is presented. Althought this anomaly is usually associated with other congenital anomalies, our patient had no associated anomaly. Pulmonary perfusion scintiscan and chest computed tomography examinations were found to be useful diagnostic modalities in our case.
