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 کاملLung hypoplasia in congenital pulmonary valve stenosis.
The pulmonary function of ten adult patients with congenital pulmonary valvular stenosis was investigated. The patients clearly showed smaller lungs than healthy control subjects of equivalent age and height; lung elastic recoil pressure was normal at any given percentage of measured total lung capacity, indicating that postnatal parenchymal damage is not the cause of the small lungs. The lung ...
متن کاملPulmonary Artery Agenesis and Lung Hypoplasia
Unilateral pulmonary artery agenesis with lung hypoplasia is very rare and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Some patients with hypoplasia may suffer from recurrent hemoptysis dyspnea, and lung infections. Other patients are asymptomatic. Chest X-Ray reveal a reduction in the volume of hemithorax, an elevation in the diaphragm, reduced intercostals spaces and mediastinal sh...
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...
متن کاملPulmonary Hypoplasia Wrongly Diagnosed and Treated as Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
Pulmonary hypoplasia (PH), a rare congenital anomaly is observed with incomplete development of the lung, and may be associated with anomalies in other body systems. The clinical presentation varies with the extent of hypoplasia and the patient may be asymptomatic or may present with severe respiratory distress in the neonatal, infancy or childhood period. A six year old girl suffering from rig...
