| Abstract |
|
Unilateral lung agenesis is a rare disease with associated anomalies of soft tissue, the musculos-
keletal system, cardiovascular system and gastrointestinal system in 50-60% of cases. When associat-
ed anomalies are absent, the disease may not be discovered during a lifetime, but in most of the cases,
frequent respiratory infection or associated anomalies make it possible for diagnosis of the disease.
Since early diagnosis is essential to prevent respiratory infection by careful respiratory physical
therapy, it is continued by follow up.
The authors experienced a case of right lung agenesis in 14-month-old female patient with right
hemifacial atrophy who had suffered from frequent respiratory infections at least twice a month, and
was diagnosed by chest X-ray, bronchogram, lung perfusion scan and chest C-T scan. Henceforth, we
report the case together with references. |
