Pulmonary disorders in infants are intimately related to the pulmonary development during the antenatal, neonatal and infantile period. In this review, normal pulmonary development is considered and several pulmonary disorders such as pulmonary hypoplasia, pulmonary sequestration, congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation, hyaline membrane disease, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, Wilson‐Mikity syndrome and perinatal pneumonia are presented in light of the current literature.
