Unilateral Persistent pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PPIE) must be differentiated from congenital cystic malformation of the lung (particularly congenital lobar emphysema and cystic adenomatoid malformation) , because in the case of PPIE conservative therapy is recommended prior to lobectomy. Multi-detector Computed Tomography (MDCT) is helpful in the diagnosis of PPIE and in determining the anatomic distribution of lobar involvement  

Background Epidemiology Clinical presentation Pathology : Macroscopy and histology Imaging : chest radiograph and MDCT Treatment and prognosis Differential diagnosis Conclusion PPIE should be considered in premature infants with cystic malformation of the lung with or without respiratory distress. It may or may not be associated with hyaline membrane disease. It can usually be distinguished from congenital cystic malformation of the lung by MDCT. Chest MDCT is helpful in differentiating PPIE from other lesions, such as congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation or congenital lobar emphysema Conservative therapy is recommended. Operative treatment should be considered when the diagnosis is unclear or for progressive respiratory distress, ventilator dependence, or complications such as recurrent pneumonia or recurrent pneumothoraces
