Congenital cystic lung disease: contemporary antenatal and postnatal management

Congenital cystic lung disease comprises a broad spectrum of rare but clinically significant developmental abnormalities, including congenital pulmonary adenomatoid malformations, bronchopulmonary sequestrations, bronchogenic cysts, and congenital lobar emphysema that result from perturbations in lung and airway embryogenesis. As congenital lung lesions are now more commonly recognized antenatally, mothers require accurate prenatal counseling and appropriate perinatal management. In light of long-term complications of infection and malignancy, there is growing consensus that infants with asymptomatic lesions should undergo elective excision of congenital pulmonary adenomatoid malformation (CPAM) or bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS). This review will focus on advancements and current practice in the diagnosis and management of CPAM and BPS, identifying aspects of the literature that are confusing or controversial. Although our knowledge and pre- and postnatal management of lung lesions will continue to evolve and improve, there is a compelling need for a unified clinical and pathological classification system that creates a common platform for discussion, clinical management, and research.

“…In cases with hydrops the prognosis is poor and associated with a high rate of perinatal mortality and severe respiratory insufficiency in the newborn3–7. Various strategies of in utero management4–9 have been designed to relieve mediastinal compression, thus allowing subsequent ex utero surgical treatment.…”

“…This can lead to a sterile inflammatory reaction with subsequent production of ascites. Generally, the causes of fetal ascites can be divided into immunologic and nonimmunologic abnormalities, with the latter including chromosomal anomalies, intrauterine infections, gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract processes [19], pulmonary and cardiac abnormalities [20,21], dyscrasias [22], upper airway obstruction [23], rare storage diseases [24], skin disorders [25] and idiopathic cases [19]. With the exception of the fetal B19 infection, no other cause of fetal ascites and meconium peritonitis was found in our case.…”

Fetal Parvovirus B19 Infection and Meconium Peritonitis

et al. 1998

A 33-year-old primigravida at 26 weeks gestation presented with fetal hydrops and fetal anemia following prior parvovirus B19 infection. The fetus required two intrauterine transfusions of packed red cells. At 35 weeks gestation, a cesarean section was performed for obstetric reasons. As a consequence of a prenatal bowel perforation, the neonate developed meconium peritonitis, for which she needed laparotomy. This case demonstrates that there may be an association between intrauterine parvovirus infection and meconium peritonitis, the latter possibly caused by vascular injury in fetal life.
