“…e timing of CT examination for prenatal diagnosis of CPAM and asymptomatic children after birth is still controversial. Some suggest that enhanced CT should be done before 6 months, and some should be completed before operation [17][18][19][20].…”

Objective. A single center, retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical image features and diagnostic efficiency of pulmonary ultrasound in the diagnosis of congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAMs) in children. Methods. The starting and ending time of this study is from May 2019 to December 2021. This study included 200 children with CPAM diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound and postpartum CT imaging (aged from 1 hour to 3 years), including 103 males and 97 females. All of them were diagnosed by fetal ultrasound and were examined by chest X-ray (CXR), chest CT, and lung ultrasound (LUS). The clinical image characteristics and diagnostic efficiency of CXR, chest CT, and LUS in the diagnosis of CPAM in children were analyzed. Results. 200 lesions were limited to single lung, and the most common were right lower lobe, right lower lobe in 80 cases (40.0%), left lower lobe in 60 cases (30.0%), right upper lobe in 30 cases (15.0%), left upper lobe in 20 cases (10.0%), and right middle lobe in 10 cases (5.0%). Among the 200 cases of preoperative CT examination, 196 cases (98.00%) showed lesions and confirmed diagnosis, and 4 cases were missed. Chest X-ray showed multiple focal circular low-density shadow in the right lung, and the heart shadow and mediastinum moved slightly to the left. CXR showed multiple cystic transparent shadows in the left lower lung and slightly to the right of the mediastinum and heart. CXR showed multiple balloon cavities of different sizes in the right lung field, and the mediastinum and heart shadow shifted to the left. The direct signs of LUS (including single or multiple cystic lesions) were not significantly different from those of CXR, but the indirect signs were significantly higher than those of CXR. Conclusion. The most common CT findings of CPAM in children are cystic lesions, especially polycystic lesions, while LUS images of CPAM in children are various. LUS is a noninvasive and nonradiological examination method, which is easy to operate and repeat. LUS can be used for preliminary qualitative screening of CPAM in children, and the diagnostic value of indirect signs of LUS is better than that of CXR.
