Ultrasonic prenatal diagnosis of type III congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of lung

Abstract

cystic adenomatoid malformation with anomalous blood supply.

The antenatal diagnosis by ultrasonography of type III congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung.

“…The antenatal ultrasound finding of type I CCAML has been reported by others (Garrett et al 1975;Donn et al 1981). Type 111 CCAML in only one lung has been reported (Diwan et al 1983;Cave & Adam 1984). Our case is the first reported case where there was type 111 CCAML with bilateral total involvement of the lungs.…”

“…There were fewer than 200 cases of CCAML reported in the literature up to 1984. CCAML has been divided into three types by Stocker et al (1975); the rarest is type 3 and we have found reports of only seven cases (Stocker et al 1977;Miller et al 1980;Oster & Fortune 1978;Diwan et al 1983;Johnson et al 1983;Cave & Adam 1984).…”

Prenatal diagnosis of cystic adenomatoid malformation of one fetus in a twin pregnancy: an unusual presentation

“…as a mass of cuboidal epithelium-lined, alveolus-hke structures usually producing mediastinal shift. 6 An· other classification separates the anomaly simply into two groups: one with cysts larger than 5 ~m (ma~o; cystic) and one with cysts less than 5 mm (macrocystic). In all types, no matter which classification is used, usually one lobe of the lung is involved, with no predominance of either side.…”

Antenatal diagnosis of pulmonary tumours: report of two cases

“…Echogenic tumors of the lung could correspond to CCAM of type III or to sequestration [6,11,13]. The early diagnosis of CCAM is important since it causes cardio-mediastinal and pulmonary compression and it is responsible for cardiorespiratory distress at birth, associated with a high mortality rate (80%) [16].…”
