“…CLOUTIER et al [1] concluded that only 17% of cases have been reported in children more than 1 year of age. Older children with CCAM most often present clinical symptoms of recurrent chest infection [3,4]. Although CCAM are of three different pathological types [2], the only one usually compatible with survival over the neonatal period is type 1.…”

An 11 year old boy with a right hemithorax deformity and diminished breathing sounds in the right lung was referred to our department, following examination by a physician due to knee pain caused by flat-footedness. He had a history of recurrent viral infections of the upper airways in early childhood since the age of 3 yrs. He has been free of pulmonary complaints. Bronchitis was diagnosed only once. Pregnancy and delivery were normal. In the neonatal and infantile period the boy was in good health. The right hemithorax deformity was diagnosed at 4 yrs of age, but was interpreted as a complication of rachitis.On physical examination, the patient appeared well. He was thin (weight 24 kg, height 134 cm; 25th and below 3rd percentiles, respectively), had a markedly enlarged right hemithorax with a slight reduction of wall CASE FOR DIAGNOSIS. movement, respiratory rate 16 breaths·min -1 , blood pressure 110/70 mmHg, and pulse rate 80 beats·min -1 . Heart sounds were normal. Lung auscultation revealed weakness of breathing sounds over the right lung field. Intensification to percussion was noted over the lower two thirds of the right hemithorax. Clubbing was not observed. In laboratory evaluation and blood gas analysis, no abnormality was found. An electrocardiogram revealed incomplete right bundle branch block. Pulmonary function tests showed forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)=74% of predicted value and vital capacity (VC)=77% pred; all other parameters (including residual volume (RV) 132% pred, functional residual capacity (FRC) 106% pred, total lung capacity (TLC) 91% pred, and flow-volume curve) were normal. The patient's exercise activity was normal. A chest radiograph and computed tomography (CT) scan, are shown in figures 1 and 2.Fibrebronchoscopy revealed a small diverticulum (depth 2 mm) at the site of the right ninth segmental bronchus. Bronchial culture was negative. The right bronchographs are shown in figure 3a and b.

“…Chest radiography is always abnormal [1,2,4] and provides the main diagnostic clue. The type 1 variant of CCAM has a typical radiographic, multicystic pattern consisting of many cystic spaces containing air [2].…”

“…3,11,14 The incidence of CCAM appears to be higher in male than in female infants. 4,5,15 Diagnosis is readily established prenatally by ultrasound. The usual indication for ultrasound is the sudden onset of polyhydramnios.…”

“…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 …”

“…It is considered a developmental disorder and most of the cases reported have been described in premature or stillborn infants [1][2][3][4]. This disorder has also been described in older children and, rarely, in adults in whom the disease has been localized to one lobe or at most one lung [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. The only possible adult case of CAM with bilateral lung involvement was reported by SARNELLI in 1986 [8].…”
