#Atelectasis . Newborn. Premature. Atelectasis in apex and lower lobe of left lung. Improvement after #Physiotherapy , placed in tredelenbug position + vibration + right lateral recumbency.


Radiograph of the chest in a formerly premature neonate shows findings of the left pulmonary interstitial emphysema. There are bubbly branching lucencies scattered throughout the left lung. A moderate left pneumothorax is present. The pneumothorax is under tension causing displacement of the heart and mediastinum towards the right. Pulmonary interstitial emphysema is associated with prematurity, very low birth weight, and mechanical ventilation. Because the neonatal lungs are stiff and oxygen is delivered under pressure, air can dissect along the pulmonary interstitium. Potential thoracic complications of pulmonary interstitial emphysema include pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum.


Full term infant with respiratory distress at birth. Opacified right hemithorax suspicious for #congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Severe hypoplasia of right lung and pulmonary artery confirmed on CT. Hepatopulmonary fusion identified on operative repair. Diaphragm defect partially repaired with only partial reduction of liver and without separation of lung due to thoracic space filled with adhesion.
