| compensating emphysema | Compensatory emphysema, increase in the air capacity of a portion of the lung when another portion is consolidated, shrunken, or unable to perform its respiratory function; the alveoli are distended, but there is no destruction of alveolar walls, and hence, no true emphysema, as this term is now defined.

| congenital lobar emphysema | <radiology> Caused by bronchial cartilage abnormality, SOLID mass at birth: dilated alveoli filled with foetal lung fluid, usually in UPPER lobes (including RML), Treatment: surgical lobectomy Cf: cystic adenomatoid malformation (12 Dec 1998) |
| cutaneous emphysema | The presence of air in the subcutaneous tissue, may be seen in cases of pneumothorax. (27 Sep 1997) |
| pulmonary emphysema | Condition of the lungs characterised by increase beyond normal in the size of air spaces distal to the terminal bronchioles, either from dilatation of the alveoli or from destruction of their walls. (12 Dec 1998) |
| senile emphysema | Emphysema consequent upon the physiologic atrophy of old age. (05 Mar 2000) |
