Abstract
Increasing use of ultrasonography during pregnancy has uncovered a range of parenchymal lesions within the lung, some of which will, if left, be a cause of morbidity and occasional mortality. These include congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations (CCAM), bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS), congenital lobar & segmental emphysema and bronchogenic cysts. Adverse antenatal features include mediastinal shift, caval obstruction, and (rarely) hydrops. This review aims to define current thoughts on these lesions and suggest appropriate management.
Keywords: Cystic adenomatoid malformation, bronchopulmonary sequestration, fetal hydrops, lobectomy, Congenital Parenchymal Lesions, segmental emphysema, bronchogenic cysts, embryological origins, mechanical compression, malignancy

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
