Bronchial atresia presenting with two bronchoceles

Abstract

Bronchial atresia is a rare congenital lung abnormality characterized by the focal obliteration of the bronchial lumen, on a lobar, segmental or subsegmental level, usually associated with peripheral mucus impaction (bronchocele or mucocele) [1,2]. It presents with adjacent segmental or subsegmental hyperinflation, and reduction of vascularization of the involved segment or lobe.
