Observations on Cystic and Bullous Emphysema of the Lungs

A Study of 100 Cases

EPHRAIM KOROL M.D.1

1 Halloran Veterans Hospital, Staten Island, New York

The author analyzes 100 cases of advanced Bullous and Cystic Pulmonary Emphysema.

In Bullous Emphysema there is a causative or associated lung infection and there are disabling symptoms. Cystic Emphysema develops early in life and progresses without bronchial infection and without bronchial spasm, and gives few subjective complaints.

In most cases of Emphysema there are signs of vascular degeneration: disappearance of the smaller pulmonary radicles and arteriosclerotic or endarteritic changes in the larger pulmonary arteries.

A discussion of the vascular factor in the pathogenesis of emphysema is included.
