“…Spontaneous resolution of CPAM has also been reported from India 6 . However, spontaneous resolution of CPAM in an infant born prematurely has only rarely being reported in the literature 7 . This is also the first time that such a case has been reported from Sri Lanka.…”

“…CPAM can be diagnosed antenatally when ultrasound of fetal lung reveals cystic or solid lesions accompanied by polyhydramnios and fetal oedema 7 . CPAM usually present in the neonatal period or early childhood with respiratory distress, recurrent chest infection, haemoptysis, or failure to thrive 8 ; 90% patients are diagnosed within the first two years of life 8 .…”

“…Surgery remains the cornerstone treatment of symptomatic lesions, but the postnatal management of asymptomatic CPAM remains controversial [3]. Spontaneous resolution of CPAM is an infrequent event, and its mechanisms remain poorly understood, but there are reported cases [4][5][6]. We report a case of CPAM type 1 in an 8-month-old female child who experienced spontaneous resolution without any surgical intervention.…”

Commonly reported symptoms include infection, hemorrhage, dyspnea, pneumothorax, nutritional difficulties, sudden respiratory compromise and malignant transformation [2]. Surgery remains the cornerstone treatment of symptomatic lesions, but the postnatal management of asymptomatic CPAM remains controversial [3]. Spontaneous resolution of CPAM is an infrequent event, and its mechanisms remain poorly understood, but there are reported cases [4][5][6]. We report a case of CPAM type 1 in an 8-month-old female child who experienced spontaneous resolution without any surgical intervention. Case DescriptionAn 8-month-old female child presented with a oneweek history of dry cough, fast breathing, grunting, and fever. She was initially managed for severe community-acquired pneumonia at a primary hospital with IV antibiotics and intranasal oxygen for 2 week, but her respiratory symptoms persisted. A chest X-ray revealed pneumatocele with a possible bronchogenic cyst. The patient was referred to specialized Hospital for further evaluation and management. The patient had episodes of fast breathing and grunting, consistent with respiratory distress. The patient had no known family history of asthma or contact with TB diagnosed

Congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAMs) represent a well-known cluster of rare lung malformations affecting 1 in 2500 live births. The natural history of many CPAMs is to increase their size in the second trimester, reach a plateau, and, in about 50% of cases, regress and to become barely detectable during the third trimester. Little is known about cases of affected neonates born prematurely: only six cases are described in the literature, recording different conduct and outcomes. Herein, we report the case of a very low birth weight infant born at GW 28 without antenatal findings and presenting at birth with severe respiratory distress, requiring ventilation. Chest X-rays and a CT scan showed the presence of a solid mass in the left lung. An initial conservative approach was adopted as the baby gained respiratory stability within the first days of life. Routine ultrasound (US) showed a progressive reduction of the lesion, mimicking the process of involution that CPAM can exhibit during late gestation. The rarity of the condition does not allow the formulation of any suggestions regarding one type of management over the other. An initial conservative approach seems to be appropriate with regards to the outcome and possible intra- and post-operative complications.
