Congenital lobar emphysema is a rare entity; there is no clear etiology and it has been described that the most common cause is the bronchial cartilage dysplasia. Clinical diagnosis is difficult to perform and multidetector computed tomography either the histopathological study can define the diagnosis. We present two cases of two male neonates with similar symptomatology than pneumonia. We describe the process that lead us to the diagnostic conclusion, management, prognostic and we present a brief review of the literature.
