Pulmonary agenesis: A case report with review of literature.

Congenital pulmonary agenesis is a rare condition which poses diagnostic difficulties. More than 50% of these patients die before the first five years of life. Few patients may remain asymptomatic throughout their life. We report a case of a two month old male infant with right pulmonary agenesis who presented with severe respiratory distress in whom a diagnosis was made following computed tomography of the chest.
