Congenital bronchial atresia (CBA) is a rare airway anomaly resulting in termination of a bronchus into a blind pouch with associated mucoid impaction and segmental hyperinflation. The etiology of CBA is related to vascular insufficiency to the bronchial bud during embryologic development. Controversy exists regarding the best approach to treatment for CBA and relating symptoms to the presence of these anomalies can be challenging. This case series describes three patients with varying approaches to diagnosis and treatment of CBA.
