Congenital bronchopulmonary malformations

Mucoid Impaction and Lobar Emphysema Due to Bronchial Atresia Associated With a Bronchogenic Cyst

“…9 In addition to being associated with bronchogenic cysts, bronchial atresia has also been associated with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations and pulmonary sequestration, both of which occur earlier in embryonic life, between the fourth and 10th weeks of gestation. 10 This case further supports the unifying hypothesis that a singular insult early in development led to both bronchogenic atresia and the bronchogenic cyst in our patient.…”

Intralobar sequestration presenting as a large intrapulmonary hematoma and massive hemothorax

“…[2][3][4][5] Degenerative arteriosclerotic changes in the systemic artery supplying the sequestration might lead to hemoptysis. 6 Moreover, hemothorax caused by ILS is rare and has been reported in only six cases [3][4][5][7][8][9] to date. To our knowledge, there has been no report of a large intrapulmonary hematoma and massive hemothorax caused by ILS that has mimicked a benign lung tumor ruptured into the pleural cavity.…”

Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation of the Lung: A Case Report and a Brief Review

“…28,29 Prenatal diagnosis allows for the planning of the delivery in a tertiary care hospital where pediatric surgeons and neonatologists are available. The treatment of choice is lobectomy, 25,30 and all symptomatic newborns should undergo surgery as soon as possible. 10,13 Lobectomy is also indicated in asymptomatic cases because of the following possible complications: spontaneous pneumothorax, infection, and development of malignancy.…”

“…10,13 Lobectomy is also indicated in asymptomatic cases because of the following possible complications: spontaneous pneumothorax, infection, and development of malignancy. 15,[30][31][32] Neonates tolerate lobectomy fairly well and lung growth after lobectomy is said to proceed smoothly, so that total lung volume and pulmonary functions return to normal. 33,34 …”
