-==Overview==
+==[[Bronchial atresia overview|Overview]]==
-'''Bronchial atresia''' is a disorder in which a segmental bronchus fails to connect with or  communicate with the more central airways. <ref>Cohen AM, Solomon EH, Alfidi RJ.

-==Pathophysiology and Etiology==
+==[[Bronchial atresia historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
-The underlying basis of the disorder is not clear. It has been hypothesized to be the result of a vascular injury to the lung at approximately 15 to 16 weeks gestation. An alternate hypothesis is that the disorder occurs secondary to separation of the bronchial bud during the 5th to 6th week of gestation. [[Pulmonary sequestration]] and [[bronchogenic cyst]]s also form during this early period of fetal development and may share an underlying pahtophysiology.
-The most common anatomic locations include the following:
+==[[Bronchial atresia classification|Classification]]==
-#The apical posterior segment of the left upper lobe
-#The left lower lobe
-#The right middle lobe
-==Epidemiology and Demographcis==
+==[[Bronchial atresia pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
-Females outnumber males 2:1.
-==Diagnosis==
+==[[Bronchial atresia causes|Causes]]==
-===Symptoms and History===
-The majority of patients are asymptomatic and the mass is discovered as an incidental finding on a routine [[chest X ray]].
-If a patient is symptomatic, they complain of [[dyspnea]], [[cough]] and [[wheezing]].
+==[[Bronchial atresia differential diagnosis|Differentiating Bronchial atresia from other Diseases]]==
-By history the patient may have recurrent pulmonary infections.
+==[[Bronchial atresia epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
-===Physical Examination===
+==[[Bronchial atresia risk factors|Risk Factors]]==
-====Lungs====
-Decreased breath sounds may be present in the affected lung fields.
-===Chest X Ray===
+==[[Bronchial atresia natural history, complications and prognosis|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]]==
-The chest x ray findings are mucoid impaction of a bronchus yielding a branching tubular mass which is surrounded by hyperinflated lung and decreased vascular markings. The differential diagnosis of these radiographic findings include the following:
-#[[Arteriovenous malformation]]
-#[[Granuloma]]
-#[[Metastases]]
-===Computed Tomography===
+==Diagnosis==
-This is the imaging modality of choice for diagnosing bronchial atresia and demonstrates segmental emphysematous changes beyond the mucous impaction in the bronchus.

 ==Treatment==
-Conservative management is the usual course of treatment. However, if the patient is symptomatic with respiratory compromise or if their course is complicated by recurrent infection, then surgical resection may be helpful.
