Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a rare cystic lesion, whose prognosis depends on the extent of the lesion, the association of other congenital abnormalities, the associated pulmonary pathology and the possibility of curative surgery. We present the case of a 5-month-old infant diagnosed with bilateral CPAM, based on clinical and imaging investigations, with acute pulmonary manifestations and without other associated congenital anomalies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
