متن کاملChronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis Complicating Bronchial Atresia
Bronchial atresia is a rare pulmonary developmental anomaly characterized by the presence of a focal obliteration of a segmental or lobar bronchial lumen. The lung distal to the atretic bronchus is typically emphysematous along with the presence of mucus filled ectatic bronchi (mucoceles). BA is usually asymptomatic but pulmonary infections can rarely develop in the emphysematous lung distal to...
متن کاملThe bronchial arteries in pulmonary emphysema.
Occlusive lesions in the pulmonary arteries of emphysematous lungs have been recognized for some time (Loeschcke, 1928 ; Karsner, 1933 Kountz and Alexander, 1934; Brenner, 1935; Christie, 1944; Gilmour and Evans, 1946). The changes described varied from an obliterative arteritis to patches of atheroma. Loeschcke referred to the loss of pulmonary capillaries as the cause of the pallor of emphyse...
