We observed that respiratory distress and mediastinal shift were more prominent in patients with a diagnosis of CLE who underwent surgery compared with patients who were conservatively followed up. Moreover, we observed that those who underwent surgery were diagnosed with CLE at an earlier age. In line with the literature, the pulmonary symptoms and CLE-related imaging findings in our study were reduced during conservative follow-up.
