The findings on pulmonary angiography are reported in 4 cases of infantile lobar emphysema. These findings include attenuation, stretching, displacement, and sparse peripheral filling of the arteries in the affected lobe. The draining veins are smaller. The vessels in the adjacent lobes are displaced and compressed.
Angiography can be useful in these cases where the diagnosis is in doubt.
