SUMMARY Five cases of lobar emphysema are presented. We want to emphasize: a) the urgency of surgical intervention; b) the variability of the causative lesions, some being instances of congenital bronchomalacia of the bronchial root, others of congenital adenomatoid cystic malformation ; and c) the value of intravenous steroid therapy in relieving postoperative pulmonary collapse or bronchospasm .
