pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (avms) are rare vascular malformations of the lung that usually led to a notable risk of serious and life-threatening complications. there is considerable debate about the best management of strategies for the group of patients with diffuse avms. several therapeutic options have been reported for management of this abnormality among which coil embolization ...

pulmonary agenesis is a very rare condition and many of them are associated with a variety of cardiac and non-cardiac malformations. we report an eight-month old girl with chronic lung infection due to right sided pulmonary agenesis without any associated major cardiac or non-cardiac abnormalities. the case brings in forth the importance of investigating any infant presenting with features of c...

ABSTRACT Background: Congenital malformations of lung, such as congenital lobar emphysema, cystic adenomatoid malformation, bronchial cyst, pulmonary sequestration are rare occurrence. However, our hospital being in a rural area attracts large number patients with complex malformations. Method: This retrospective analysis is done to evaluate diagnostic accuracy, safety and efficacy outcomes ope...

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations are rare vascular anomalies. We report a 12-year-old girl who presented with exertional dyspnoea, cyanosis and clubbing since the age of five years, and multiple pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. Computed tomography pulmonary angiogram showed a large pulmonary arteriovenous malformation at the lower lobe of the right lung. Pulmonary angiogram showed a ...

Congenital lung malformations are rare and vary widely in their clinical presentation and severity, depending mostly on the degree of lung involvement and their location in the thoracic cavity. They can manifest at any age and can be the source of significant morbidity and mortality in infants and children. Individuals with congenital lung malformations can present with respiratory symptoms at ...

Congenital lung malformations are often discovered incidentally on routine prenatal sonography or postnatal imaging. Lesions such as congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations (CCAM), sequestrations, bronchogenic cysts and congenital lobar emphysema may be asymptomatic at birth or at the time of discovery later in life. Some authors advocate simple observation because of the lack of data on th...
