Congenital lobar emphysema causing discrepancy between size and symptoms of ventricular septal defect

Authors: Anna M. E. Noten, Lukas A. Rammeloo, Eric G. Haarman, Irene M. Kuipers, Jaroslav Hruda

Published in: European Journal of Pediatrics | Issue 12/2014

Abstract

Three small infants presented with severely symptomatic ventricular septal defect, thought to require cardiac surgery, although the defect was not very large. Surgery for the associated congenital lobar emphysema led to recovery, and cardiac surgery was not necessary.
