“…The final diagnoses from pathology and CT represents a spectrum of congenital lung malformations, such as CPAM, sequestration and emphysema. This is in line with earlier reports (3,11,18) and underlines that both CT and US are sensitive diagnostic tools, but has limitations regarding the true nature of malformations.…”

There was over a three-fold increase in the antenatally detected CLM in the Wessex region 1994-2012. Comparison with the antenatal detection of diaphragmatic hernia suggests that this is a true rise in incidence rather than an artefactual increase due to increased antenatal recognition secondary to improved ultrasound resolution and operator experience. These results have clinical and cost implications for practitioners of foetal medicine, neonatology and paediatric surgery services.

“…This is likely to lead to a growing cohort with lung lesions detected antenatally that would have remained asymptomatic and undetected previously 3 . Series from individual centres contribute 2,8 but a registry with much larger numbers may help to address some of the unanswered questions.…”

“…They are thought to be rare lesions with the most common, CPAM, having an estimated incidence of 1 in 8,000 to 1 in 35,000 1,2 . However, with the increasing sensitivity of prenatal ultrasonography, the incidence of CLMs may be as high as 1 in 3,000 3 . CLMs are often detected antenatally by routine fetal anomaly scans with further information obtained in some cases by fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).…”

IntroductionCongenital lung malformations are rare lesions that are most commonly diagnosed antenatally. Management of such lesions, particularly those that are asymptomatic, remains controversial. We undertook a survey to ascertain current practice of surgeons in the UK and Ireland.MethodsAll consultant members of the British Association of Paediatric Surgeons were asked to complete a survey on congenital lung malformations with respect to antenatal management, symptomatic and asymptomatic lesions, and operative techniques.ResultsResponses were received from 20 paediatric surgical centres and highlighted the ongoing variability in management of such lesions, particularly those that are asymptomatic. Twenty per cent of surgeons never resect an asymptomatic lesion and twenty-four per cent always do. The remainder intervene selectively, with size being the most commonly stated indication. Most resections are undertaken via thoracotomy although 35% of surgeons use thoracoscopy for some procedures.ConclusionsNational data based on congenital anomaly registers are needed to determine the natural history of these malformations and to guide future management.
