This clinical entity is poorly understood and the diagnosis is frequently delayed as sputum smears are often negative for acid fast bacilli and the chest radiograph can be normal, resulting in diagnostic confusion.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Histological findings of the resected specimens showed overgrowth of the bronchial glands, lymphocyticinfiltration around the alveoli and glandular metaplasia of the alveoli in both cases.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The atelectasis responded well to glucocorticoid treatment, suggesting that the peribronchiolar lymphocyticinfiltrates may have played an important role in the development of middle lobe syndrome in this patient.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiology of MLS was initially described as external compression of the right middle lobe bronchus. However, it is known that multiple etiologies of MLS exist, involving intrinsic and extrinsic bronchial compression.[journals.lww.com]
However, issues regarding its etiology, clinical presentation, and management continue to puzzle the clinical practitioner. Pathophysiologically, there are two forms of middle lobe syndrome, namely obstructive and nonobstructive.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract A review of the major literature dealing with the middle lobe syndrome shows that benign inflammatory disease is the most common etiological factor (62%), with bronchiectasis responsible for at least a quarter of the patients in these series.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A lack of collateral ventilation is a plausible theory to explain the pathophysiology in such patients.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiologically, there are two forms of middle lobe syndrome, namely obstructive and nonobstructive.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The original view that bronchial compression was the pathophysiological abnormality leading to development of the syndrome has been rejected by more recent authors.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiologically, there are two forms of MLS, namely obstructive and nonobstructive.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This isolation prevents the aerating effects of collateral ventilation of the upper lobe from reaching the middle lobe and thus impairs the clearing of secretions from the middle lobe bronchus.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
CONCLUSIONS: Timely medical intervention in patients with MLS that includes FOB with BAL prevents bronchiectasis that may be responsible for an ultimately unfavorable outcome.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
