Long-term outcome of asymptomatic patients with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation

Abstract

This study suggests patients who present with asymptomatic CCAM will subsequently become symptomatic. Early surgical referral and intervention may be beneficial to avoid the development of complications.

Conservative post‐natal management of antenatally diagnosed congenital pulmonary airway malformations

“…Approximately 30–40% of infants with CPAM are symptomatic in the neonatal period, which is similar to our result (29%, 10/35) (Table ). One study reported 86% (13/14, 1 died) of symptomatic infants with CPAM required surgery due to significant respiratory distress, at a mean age of 1 month (0–9 years) . This high severity of respiratory problems and rate of surgery was not reflected in our cohort.…”

“…Infants and children with CPAM may develop symptoms including respiratory distress, chronic cough, poor feeding or respiratory failure, which are indications for surgery . One study suggested that a large number of initially asymptomatic infants (18/21) would later develop symptoms due to the CPAM in early childhood . However, in this paper, 13 of these 18 infants/children (i.e.…”

Development of a multi-institutional registry for children with operative congenital lung malformations

“…On the other end of the spectrum, we identified 61 cases (12.1%) in predominantly older children who had resections performed in the setting of a prior pneumonia or infection. These data are congruent with work by others, who have also shown that infection is a bona fide complication in some CLMs initially managed nonoperatively [45][46][47].…”
