Résumé :

We report two cases of primary lung tuberculosis in children with unusual perfusion ventilation scintigraphic patterns. In the first case, a mismatch in the right upper lobe suggests an elective compression of the bronchi by the mediastinal lymph nodes; in the second case, the total absence of ventilation and perfusion of the left lobe at scintigraphy illustrates the discrepancy sometimes encountered between chest x-ray and lung scintigraphy.
