Pulmonary Agenesis and Hypoplasia.
In recent years the more frequent use of x-rays has revealed various congenital abnormalities of the lungs which had formerly passed undetected during life, since the clinical signs and symptoms may be minimal. An attempt is made here to elucidate the different pictures which may be seen in varying degrees of underdevelopment of the lungs. For clarity of description the following nomenclature i...
متن کاملInfant with Clinical Evidence of Pulmonary Hypoplasia: A Case Report
Pulmonary hypoplasia is the incomplete development of lung tissue. A reduced number of lung cells, airways, and alveoli is the hallmark and can be seen unilaterally or in both lungs. The diagnosis, however, is usually made upon pathologic examination. Here we have presented a case of a term infant presenting with severe hypoxemic respiratory failure. Despite optimizing medical and respiratory m...
متن کاملCrossed pulmonary arteries with hypoplasia of the transverse aortic arch.
BACKGROUND The entity of crossed pulmonary arteries was first described by Jue, Lockman, and Edwards in 1966, in a patient with trisomy 18. Since then, several series have been described, both in terms of the isolated anatomic variant, or its association with other intracardiac or extracardiac anomalies. We describe a rare association that has previously not been reported. Methods and results I...
متن کاملPrenatal prediction of pulmonary hypoplasia: clinical, biometric, and Doppler velocity correlates.
OBJECTIVES To determine the value of pulmonary artery Doppler velocimetry relative to fetal biometric indices and clinical correlates in the prenatal prediction of lethal lung hypoplasia (LH) in prolonged (>1 week) oligohydramnios. METHODS Forty-two singleton pregnancies with oligohydramnios associated with premature rupture of membranes ([PROM]; n = 31) or bilateral renal pathology (n = 11) ...
متن کاملPrimary congenital pulmonary hypoplasia of a neonate.
Pulmonary hypoplasia is a rare but usually lethal disease. We report a full-term male neonate who presented with respiratory failure immediately after birth. Chest X-ray revealed a small lung volume despite advanced ventilator support. Respiratory failure persisted and this baby died at 40.5 hours of age. The autopsy showed a lung-to-birth weight ratio of 0.69% and a radial alveoli count of 2.9...
