This paper reviews three cases of congenital lobar emphysema from Saudi Arabia, seen over a period of three years. All were boys aged 2.5, 7 and 8 months, and recurrent attacks of chest infection, which started during the early neonatal period, were the main presentation. In all cases, diagnosis was confirmed by chest x-ray. Two of them had a lobectomy and made a good recovery. Operation was refused in the third. The clinicopathological features, diagnosis and management are discussed. An outline of the anaesthetic management is also discussed briefly.
