Abstract:
A case of left sided lung hypoplasia is described in a seven year old female. She was admitted in our department with complaints of recurrent chest infections since infancy. Clinical examination revealed a febrile child with respiratory distress and with grossly diminished breath sound with patchy coarse crepitations on left hemithorax. X-ray chest revealed non homogenous opaque shadow on left hemithorax. Bronchscopy and CT thorax confirmed the diagnosis of left sided hypoplasia of lung. No other developmental anomaly was noted.
