Two cases of congenital bilobar emphysema are presented, both of which caused neonatal respiratory embarrassment. Plain radiography and lung scintigraphy revealed bilobar involvement in one child prior to surgery, while the bilobar involvement in the other child was found during a follow-up study.
We describe the management of laryngotracheo-oesophageal cleft Type III using a bifurcated endobronchial tube. When the cleft was opened for repair, we were able to obtain effective control of the airway, which is the main problem in this rare congenital anomaly. Commercial tubes are not available, so we made the tube on the day of surgery, immediately before operation.
