Lung 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 کاملPulmonary Hypoplasia Associated with Congenital Heart Diseases: A Fetal Study
BACKGROUND Abnormalities of the fetal pulmonary vasculature may affect lung morphogenesis. Postnatal studies have suggested that pulmonary hypoplasia (PH) may be associated with congenital heart diseases (CHDs). OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of PH associated with CHDs, and to evaluate whether CHDs with right outflow obstruction were associated with the highest risk of lung growth impa...
متن کاملFetal cervical teratoma: What is the role of fetal MRI in predicting pulmonary hypoplasia?
OBJECTIVE To determine whether total fetal lung volumes estimated by MRI could predict lethal pulmonary hypoplasia in a cohort of fetuses with cervical teratomas. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of fetal cervical teratomas from January 1, 2005, through April 1, 2012. The primary outcome was the ability of total lung volumes measured by MRI to predict neonatal mortality speci...
متن کاملAbnormal fetal movements, micrognathia and pulmonary hypoplasia: a case report. Abnormal fetal movements
BACKGROUND Micrognathia is a facial malformation characterized by mandibular hypoplasia and a small, receding chin that fails to maintain the tongue in a forward position. We previously reported a system of prenatal screening that we developed to identify fetuses with compromised central nervous system function by observing fetal behavior. In this paper we report the case of a preterm infant wi...
