Abstract :

Chest Xray findings of unilateral opacification of hemithorax with mediastinal shift towards the affected side may prompt the differential diagnoses of complete lung atelectasis , suspected foreign body aspiration , onchial mass lesions . We must also consider the rare congenital condition of pulmonary underdevelopment, which includes pulmonary agenesis , aplasia and hypoplasia. We report a case of 20 years old female with left sided pulmonary aplasia.
