Congenital lobar emphysema (CLE) is a rare anomaly of lung development that presents in the neonatal period. A 13-day-old girl baby was admitted to our unit because of primary pulmonary hypoplasia. She had presented with severe dyspnea and cyanosis, where chest radiograph and chest computed tomography showed CLE and pulmonary hypoplasia. Pulmonary hypoplasia may worsen prognosis of patient. There fore, we performed a pulmonary magnetic resonance angiography in our patient. Pulmonary vasculature was normal on magnetic resonance angiography. After ward, our patient was operated. In here we would like to highlight that the use of advanced imaging techniques can identify additional pathologies which may affect prognosis after surgery.
