We report the case of a male patient 10 months and 19 days old who was admitted to the emergency department for clinical symptoms of lower airways, associated with respiratory distress, physical examination with evidence of right hypoventilation and left crackles, so a radiographic image was performed with the presence of generalized opacity in the right hemithorax, so it was decided to perform chest CT, corroborating pulmonary agenesis; it was evaluated by the pulmonology and cardiology service finding dextrocardia. Generally this pathology is infrequent and almost always requires supportive treatment.
