Pediatric right lung lobe syndrome

Right middle lobe syndrome is middle lobe syndrome, also known as middle lobe syndrome, right middle lobe atelectasis syndrome, acute transient middle lobe disease, right middle lobe chronic atelectasis with pneumonia, Brock syndrome Graham-Burford-Mayer syndrome. It was first reported by Brock in 1937, and later referred to as Brock syndrome. In 1948, Graham further research found that the enlarged lymph nodes were nonspecific inflammation and named the right middle lobe syndrome. In a narrow sense, it refers to obstructive pneumonia due to the enlargement of the parabronchial lymph nodes in the middle lobe of the right lung, which compresses the bronchi and causes atelectasis in the middle lobe. Broadly speaking, any atelectasis or chronic inflammation that is confined to the middle lobe, regardless of its cause, whether it is accompanied by parabronchial lymphadenopathy or bronchoconstriction, can belong to the category of middle lobe syndrome. The most common cause of right middle lobe syndrome is nonspecific infection, which is more common in children.
