چکیده

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung is a developmental abnormality characterized by abnormal proliferation of terminal bronchioles forming cysts of varying sizes. Extensive lesions are associated with a poor prognosis due to the development of nonimmune hydrops and/or pulmonary hypoplasia. The advent of high-resolution ultrasonography has made it possible to identify these lesions during the antenatal period. With the prenatal identification of cystic adenomatoid malformations comes the potential for in utero intervention to modify the natural history of this process and prevent the development of hydrops and pulmonary hypoplasia. An instance of successful intrauterine treatment of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation is presented.

Fetuses with large CCAMs associating with hydrops are predisposed to perinatal mortality, therefore prenatal intervention is required. While macrocystic CCAM is treated prenatally by thoracentesis or thoraco-amniotic shunt, microcystic or mixed CCAM is difficult to manag...

Prenatal diagnosis and management of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation.

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a rare pulmonary malformation resulting from excessive overgrowth of the terminal bronchioles. We present two CCAM case studies: type I (macrocystic) and type III (microcystic), diagnosed by antenatal ultrasonography at 31 and 21 weeks' gestation, respectively. In the former, multiple dilated cystic masses in the fetal left lung, with polyhyd...
