Abstract
Congenital bronchial atresia is a rare anomaly, which results from a congenital focal obliteration of a proximal segmental or subsegmental bronchus, with normal development of the distal structures. The short atretic segment leads to the accumulation of mucus within the distal bronchi, forming a bronchocele and air trapping of the alveoli supplied by these bronchi. The diagnostic CT features include the presence of a branching opacity and the bronchocele, which radiate from the hilum and are surrounded by an area of hyperlucency.
