Abstract
Bronchial atresia is usually diagnosed by incidentally detecting opacitiy at hilar ragion and hyperinflation around this opacity on chest X-ray. It may rarely be detected as air sac like atresic bronchus. The breath sounds in the right hemithorax were heard less when compared to the left hemithorax in the auscultation of a 16-year-old male patient with allergic rhinitis. The patient had no pulmonary complaints, and this finding was not recorded in his previous follow-up. In order to determine the etiology of hyperinflation seen on chest X-ray, computed tomography was performed. Hyperinflation was identified in the lower lobe superior segment of the right lung, which could be secondary to bronchial atresia. It was confirmed that in the evaluation of computed tomography with threedimensional reconstruction, lower lobe superior segment bronchus of the right lung was atresic and contrary to expected mucus opacity in the distal of atresia, dilated bronchus was filled with air. This case was especially presented to lay emphasis on careful auscultation and share its unusual radiological presentation which had been reported twice before
