Abstract
OBJECTIVES To report the outcome of fetuses with a prenatal diagnosis of congenital lung malformation (CLM) diagnosed on ultrasound by performing a comprehensive assessment of these outcomes through a systematic review and meta-analysis. CONTENT CLMs are a heterogeneous group of anomalies that involve the lung parenchyma and its bronchovascular structures. Their presentation and evolution are variable, from entirely asymptomatic lesions with sonographic regression in utero to hydropic fetuses requiring fetal therapy, intrauterine death or neonatal morbidity. A systematic review was conducted in Medline, Embase and Cochrane databases including studies on fetuses with CLM diagnosed prenatally in order to report the in-utero natural history of these lesions. Thirty-nine studies (2,638 fetuses) were included in the final review. SUMMARY Regression/reduction in size of the lung lesion during pregnancy was reported in 31 % of cases, while its increase in 8.5 % of cases. Intra-uterine death complicated 1.5 % of pregnancies with fetal CLM, while neonatal and perinatal death were 2.2 and 3 %, respectively. Neonatal morbidity occurred in 20.6 % of newborns with CLM; 46 % had surgery, mainly elective. In fetuses with CLM and hydrops, fetal/perinatal loss occurred in 42 %. Assessment of the role of fetal therapy in improving the outcomes of pregnancies complicated by CLM was hampered by the small number of included cases and heterogeneity of type of interventions. OUTLOOK Fetuses with CLM prenatally diagnosed have a generally favorable outcome. Conversely, there is a low quality of evidence on the actual role of fetal therapy in improving the outcome of fetuses presenting with these anomalies.

Multidisciplinary management of a large microcystic congenital pulmonary airway malformation: case report and literature review. J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med 2023; 36:2239424. [PMID: 37581300 DOI: 10.1080/14767058.2023.2239424] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2022] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/16/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAMs) are rare sporadic lesions frequently associated with poor fetal prognosis. Type 3 CPAMs are characterized by small hyperechogenic cysts (<5 mm). Hydrops often develops secondarily, and the fetal survival rate is approximately 5% in this setting. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a large type 3 CPAM complicated by fetal hydrops. The lesion was detected at 19 gestational weeks (GW) and confirmed by fetal MRI at 29 GW. At 22 GW, a course of maternal steroids was given as a possible treatment of type 3 CPAM. Peritoneal-amniotic shunt was placed twice to reduce fetal ascites, with unsatisfactory results. Similarly, polyhydramnios was relieved by two amnioreductions, but redeveloped soon after. A baby girl was delivered spontaneously at 33 GW and received a two-stage partial lobectomy in the first three months of life. Desaturations necessitated challenging invasive oscillatory ventilation between stages. Her outcome is unexpectedly positive and she may expect a good quality of life. She now approaches one year of age, with near-to-normal growth and developmental milestones. DISCUSSION Type 3 CPAMs complicated by fetal hydrops are associated with high perinatal mortality. While open fetal surgery remains a viable option in select specialist centers, antenatal interventions are typically ineffective. The survival of this infant can be attributed to prenatal management and early postnatal surgical intervention. The lack of guidelines for ventilation in this setting was a significant challenge for neonatal intensivists. Multidisciplinary vigilance and collaboration with frequent specialist follow ups were the key to success for both mother and child.

Abstract
Congenital lung malformations are a spectrum of developmental anomalies comprised of malformations of the lung parenchyma, airways, and vasculature. Imaging assessment plays a pivotal role in the initial diagnosis, management, and follow-up evaluation of congenital lung malformations in the pediatric population. However, there is currently a lack of practical imaging guidelines and recommendations for the diagnostic imaging assessment of congenital lung malformations in infants and children. This article reviews the current evidence regarding the imaging evaluation of congenital lung malformations and provides up-to-date imaging recommendations for pediatric congenital lung malformations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify, in fetuses with a congenital lung malformation (CLM), prenatal predictors of the need for postnatal respiratory support and the need for surgery by calculating the CLM volume ratio (CVR), and to evaluate the concordance between the prenatal appearance and the postnatal type of CLM. METHODS This was an analysis of prenatal, perinatal and postnatal data from fetuses diagnosed with a CLM at the Erasmus University Medical Center - Sophia Children's Hospital in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, between January 2007 and December 2016. For all included fetuses, CVR was measured retrospectively on stored ultrasound images obtained at 18 + 1 to 24 + 6 weeks (US1), 25 + 0 to 29 + 6 weeks (US2) and/or 30 + 0 to 35 + 6 weeks' gestation (US3). Postnatal diagnosis of CLM was based on computed tomography or histology. Primary outcomes were the need for respiratory support within 24 h and surgery within 2 years after birth. RESULTS Of the 80 fetuses with a CLM included in this study, 14 (18%) required respiratory support on the first postnatal day, and 17 (21%) required surgery within 2 years. Only the CVR at US2 was predictive of the need for respiratory support, with a cut-off value of 0.39. Four of 16 (25%) fetuses which showed full regression of the CLM prenatally required respiratory support within 24 h after birth. The CVR at US1, US2 and US3 was predictive of surgery within 2 years. Overall, the prenatal appearance of the CLM showed low concordance with the postnatal type. Prenatally suspected microcystic congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) was shown on computed tomography after birth to be congenital lobar overinflation in 15/35 (43%) cases. Respiratory support within 24 h after birth and surgical resection within 28 days after birth were needed in all cases of macrocystic CPAM. CONCLUSIONS CVR can predict the need for respiratory support within 24 h after birth and for surgery within 2 years. Regression of a CLM prenatally does not rule out respiratory problems after birth. © 2020 The Authors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Most children with prenatally diagnosed congenital pulmonary malformations (CPM) are asymptomatic at birth. We aimed to develop a parsimonious prognostic model for predicting the risk of neonatal respiratory distress (NRD) in preterm and term infants with CPM, based on the prenatal attributes of the malformation. METHODS MALFPULM is a prospective population-based nationally representative cohort including 436 pregnant women. The main predictive variable was the CPM volume ratio (CVR) measured at diagnosis (CVR first) and the highest CVR measured (CVR max). Separate models were estimated for preterm and term infants and were validated by bootstrapping. RESULTS In total, 67 of the 383 neonates studied (17%) had NRD. For infants born at term (>37 weeks, N=351), the most parsimonious model included CVR max as the only predictive variable (ROC area: 0.70±0.04, negative predictive value: 0.91). The probability of NRD increased linearly with increasing CVR max and remained below 10% for CVR max<0.4. In preterm infants (N=32), both CVR max and gestational age were important predictors of the risk of NRD (ROC area: 0.85±0.07). Models based on CVR first had a similar predictive ability. CONCLUSIONS Predictive models based exclusively on CVR measurements had a high negative predictive value in infants born at term. Our study results could contribute to the individualised general risk assessment to guide decisions about the need for newborns with prenatally diagnosed CPM to be delivered at specialised centers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the prognostic factors of fetuses with microcystic and macrocystic congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAMs). METHODS We retrospectively evaluated fetuses with CPAMs at Asan Medical Center. The CPAM size, mass effect, and maximum cyst size in macrocystic CPAMs were evaluated prenatally. The adverse postnatal outcomes, including respiratory symptoms, mechanical ventilation, and surgery, were evaluated. RESULTS In 118 cases, 2 fetal deaths and 1 neonatal death occurred. All cases of fetal hydrops and complete regression after birth were in the macrocystic and microcystic CPAM groups, respectively. Twenty-four neonates (20.7%) had respiratory symptoms, and 18 (15.5%) required mechanical ventilation. Sixty-three neonates (54.3%) underwent surgery, of whom 21 (33.3%) required surgery in the neonatal period. The maximum congenital pulmonary airway malformation volume ratio was significantly associated with all postnatal outcomes (P < .05), and the optimal cutoff values were lower for respiratory symptoms, mechanical ventilation, and neonatal surgery in the macrocystic CPAMs. The maximum cyst size was also associated with all postnatal outcomes in macrocystic CPAMs (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Different cutoff values for the maximum congenital pulmonary airway malformation volume ratio should be applied according to the CPAM type for the prediction of postnatal outcomes. The maximum cyst size can also be a useful prognostic factor in macrocystic CPAMs.

Abstract
The objective of our study was to compare microcystic and macrocystic congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAMs) through prenatal characteristics, perinatal outcome, postnatal management and development after consultation in our prenatal diagnosis centre. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 227 cases prenatally diagnosed as CCAM in our hospital within three years. One hundred and eighty-one cases continued their pregnancy and 46 pregnancies were terminated. One hundred and fifteen of 227 cases were microcystic and 112 were macrocystic. The prenatal ultrasound characteristics of two types showed no statistically significant differences, despite that CVR of macrocystic CCAMs was mildly greater than microcystic. None of recorded cases received surgical intervention in utero. Compared with healthy foetuses, CCAMs presented with higher percentage of polyhydramnios and male foetuses, larger amount of postpartum blood loss and longer duration of NICU hospitalisation. Compared with 46 legal abortions, continued pregnancy cases had a smaller CVR, less polyhydramnios, cardiac shift and hydrops. One hundred and seventy-nine cases were followed up after birth and 174 babies were asymptomatic. Thirty one cases received successful surgical resection. In conclusion, the prenatally diagnosed CCAMs have a good short-term prognosis and conservative management is a reasonable option in asymptomatic fetuses. Microcystic and macrocystic CCAMs both presented similar prenatal courses and perinatal prognoses. Conservative management, prenatally and postnatally, could be accepted in selected cases.Impact statementWhat is already known on this subject? Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation is a well-known developmental abnormality of the lung. The prognosis for most CCAMs is good, but the prenatal and postnatal management remains controversial.What do the results of this study add? This study is one of the largest case cohorts to conclude that microcystic and macrocystic CCAMs both presented similar prenatal courses and perinatal prognoses. Conservative management is a reasonable option in asymptomatic babies.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? A comprehensive assessment by an experienced multidisciplinary team is necessary to forbid blinding abortions of CCAMs. Conservative management prenatally and postnatally could be accepted in most asymptomatic cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess prenatal changes in the volume of congenital pulmonary malformations (CPM) and examine whether these changes differ in lesions that appear cystic on ultrasound compared with hyperechoic lesions, and to study the relationship between CPM volume and risk of fetal compression. METHODS We conducted a nationally representative, multicenter, prospective cohort study, which included 579 ultrasound examinations in 176 pregnant women with a diagnosis of fetal CPM, between March 2015 and November 2016. Several ultrasound examinations were performed between diagnosis and delivery, including measurement of CPM volume. We modeled changes in CPM volume ratio (CVR) as a function of gestational age, overall and for cystic/mixed vs hyperechoic malformations, and examined the association between CVR and signs of compression during pregnancy. RESULTS When modeling CVR changes over time, there was a statistically significant decrease in CVR with increasing gestational age (P < 0.001), but the pattern of change differed according to CPM phenotype at first ultrasound examination: cystic/mixed CPM were characterized by a monotonic decrease in CVR with increasing gestational age (P = 0.002), whereas hyperechoic CPM showed an initial increase in CVR up to 27 weeks of gestation, followed by a decrease thereafter (P < 0.001). Peak CVR values were predicted as early as 21-22 weeks for cystic/mixed CPMs compared with 25-26 weeks for hyperechoic malformations. Regardless of CPM phenotype, fetuses that showed no sign of compression at any point had substantially lower CVR at first CVR measurement, and the CVR remained relatively constant thereafter. Among the subpopulation of fetuses with no sign of compression at first CVR measurement, the odds of a subsequent compression was 7-fold higher (adjusted odds ratio, 7.0; 95% CI, 1.6-29.9) if initial CVR was > 0.4 vs CVR ≤ 0.4 cm2 . CONCLUSIONS Predicted changes in CVR during pregnancy differ between cystic and hyperechoic malformations. This may be the result of different pathophysiological mechanisms or differences in the timing of occurrence of these different types of CPM. CVR measured at the initial diagnostic ultrasound examination was strongly associated with the odds of subsequent compression. Copyright © 2018 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Abstract
Introduction To assess fetal vs. neonatal diagnoses, pregnancy outcomes and need for surgery in babies prenatally diagnosed with congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) or bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS). Methods Retrospective single-centre cohort study of fetuses with a prenatal diagnosis of CPAM or BPS between 2006 and 2014. Data collected included serial antenatal ultrasound information and neonatal/infant diagnoses and outcomes. Results Initial ultrasound diagnosis (n = 63) was CPAM in 51 and BPS in 12: nineteen (30%) fetuses had mediastinal shift and 2 (3%) had hydrops. All neonates with known birth outcome (n = 56) were liveborn. Final diagnosis in 52 infants (83%) with neonatal imaging and/or histopathology confirmed CPAM in 17/44 (39%) and BPS in 6/9 (67%). Of 34 prenatally suspected but unconfirmed CPAM lesions: 10 had no lesion on neonatal imaging, one no neonatal imaging performed, five confirmed BPS, 11 other lung/thoracic lesions, seven were lost to follow-up. There was one infant death. 27/63 infants (43%) had post-natal surgery. More neonates requiring neonatal respiratory support/resuscitation had surgery compared to those who did not (67% vs. 29%, P = 0.008). Patients with suspected CPAM or BPS on both initial and final ultrasound were more likely to have post-natal surgical management than when a lesion was no longer visible on final antenatal ultrasound (68% vs. 23%, P = 0.001). Conclusions Over 50% of antenatally suspected CPAM/BPS either regressed or had an alternate post-natal diagnosis. Perinatal outcome was good, with the majority of neonates/infants conservatively managed. Persistently visible antenatal lesion and need for neonatal respiratory support predicted ultimate surgical management.

Abstract
Advances in antenatal screening have provided evidence that the prevalence of congenital pulmonary airway malformation is higher than previously thought. This means that, on a global scale, more congenital pulmonary airway malformations will be diagnosed and seen by clinicians across many different specialties. This increase poses new controversies and challenges for clinicians in terms of prenatal and postnatal management. Important and exciting research has begun to emerge in the past decade. This Review describes current understanding of the disease, the latest surgical developments, and highlights management issues and controversies, including the rationale and timing of surgical intervention, the choice of surgical approach, and long-term functional outcomes. In doing so, we attempt to provide a balanced management algorithm for readers.

Eur J Pediatr 2017; 176:1559-1571. [PMID: 29046943 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-017-3032-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 59] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2017] [Revised: 09/30/2017] [Accepted: 10/04/2017] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Congenital pulmonary airway malformations or CPAM are rare developmental lung malformations, leading to cystic and/or adenomatous pulmonary areas. Nowadays, CPAM are diagnosed prenatally, improving the prenatal and immediate postnatal care and ultimately the knowledge on CPAM pathophysiology. CPAM natural evolution can lead to infections or malignancies, whose exact prevalence is still difficult to assess. The aim of this "state-of-the-art" review is to cover the recently published literature on CPAM management whether the pulmonary lesion was detected during pregnancy or after birth, the current indications of surgery or surveillance and finally its potential evolution to pleuro-pulmonary blastoma. CONCLUSION Surgery remains the cornerstone treatment of symptomatic lesions but the postnatal management of asymptomatic CPAM remains controversial. There are pros and cons of surgical resection, as increasing rate of infections over time renders the surgery more difficult after months or years of evolution, as well as risk of malignancy, though exact incidence is still unknown. What is known: • Congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAM) are rare developmental lung malformations mainly antenatally diagnosed. • While the neonatal management of symptomatic CPAM is clear and includes prompt surgery, controversies remain for asymptomatic CPAM due to risk of infections and malignancies. What is new: • Increased rate of infection over time renders the surgery more difficult after months or years of evolution and pushes for recommendation of early elective surgery. • New molecular or pathological pathways may help in the distinction of type 4 CPAM from type I pleuropulmonary blastoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe antenatal findings and evaluate prenatal risk parameters for adverse outcome or need for intervention in fetuses with congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM). METHODS In our retrospective study all fetuses with a prenatal diagnosis of CPAM detected in our tertiary referral center between 2002 and 2013 were analyzed. Sonographic findings were noted and measurements of mass-to-thorax-ratio (MTR), congenital pulmonary airway malformation volume-ratio (CVR) and observed to expected lung-to head-ratio (o/e LHR) were conducted and correlated to fetal or neonatal morbidity and mortality and/or need for prenatal intervention. RESULTS 67 fetuses with CPAM were included in the study. Hydropic fetuses were observed in 16.4% (11/67) of cases, prenatal intervention was undertaken in 9 cases; 7 pregnancies were terminated. The survival rate of non-hydropic fetuses with conservatively managed CPAM was 98.0% (50/51), the survival rate for hydropic fetuses with intention to treat was 42.9% (3/7). 10 (18.2%) children needed respiratory assistance. Fetuses with a CVR of <0.91 were significantly less likely to experience adverse outcome or need for prenatal intervention with sensitivity, specificity and positive/negative predictive value of 0.89, 0.71, 0.62 and 0.93, respectively. A MTR (mass-to-thorax-ratio) of < 0.51 had a positive predictive value of 0.54 and a negative predictive value of 0.96 of adverse events with a sensitivity of 0.95 and a specificity of 0.63. The negative predictive value for o/e LHR of 45% was 0.84 with sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value of 0.73, 0.68 and 0.52, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The majority of cases with CPAM have a favorable outcome. MTR and CVR are able to identify fetuses at risk, the o/e LHR is less sensitive.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the natural history and outcomes of prenatally diagnosed lung masses that appear to undergo complete regression before birth. METHODS An IRB-approved retrospective review was performed on 100 consecutive fetuses with a congenital lung malformation at a single fetal center. Prenatal and postnatal imaging as well as outcomes of vanishing fetal masses was analyzed and compared to those with persistent fetal masses. RESULTS Seventeen lesions (17%) became sonographically undetectable at 35.3 ± 2.3 weeks gestation. Vanishing fetal masses were associated with microcystic disease (100% vs. 69%, p=0.005) and a low initial congenital pulmonary airway malformation volume ratio (CVR; 0.31 ± 0.35 vs. 0.70 ± 0.66, p=0.002) when compared to those with persistent fetal lesions. Based on postnatal CT imaging and pathology data, 10.3% of all fetal masses completely regressed. The positive predictive value and negative predictive value of prenatal ultrasound for detecting lung malformations in late gestation were 96% and 43%, respectively. All infants with vanishing fetal lesions were asymptomatic at birth and were more likely to be managed nonoperatively (75% vs. 22%, p<0.0001) when compared to infants with persistent fetal masses. CONCLUSIONS Vanishing lung lesions late in gestation are relatively common and are associated with a low CVR and microcystic disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The outcomes of prenatally diagnosed lung lesions in the context of multigestational pregnancies are unknown. METHODS Of 960 fetal lung lesion cases evaluated at a single tertiary center over 16 years, 30 occurred in multigestational pregnancies. We reviewed this series to aid in prenatal counseling of affected families and to provide prognostic information for decision making. Pre- and postnatal clinical characteristics were gathered for these pregnancies, and the morbidity and mortality were determined for both affected and normal fetuses, whether twins or triplets. RESULTS Mortality was found to be 3/30 (10%) for affected fetuses, and morbidity in normal co-twins was consistent with the degree of prematurity. No morbidity was seen in co-twins born at or after 36 weeks of gestation. Median gestational age at delivery was 35 5/7 weeks. CONCLUSIONS Outcomes for the affected fetus correlate with the size and pathophysiologic consequences of the lesion and are not worse than previously reported outcomes for similar lesions in singleton pregnancies, while morbidity in the normal co-twin is consistent with prematurity related to the fetal age of the multiple gestation at delivery, irrespective of the fetal lung lesion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the incidence of complications among a relatively large cohort of fetuses with bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) and the success of two different intrauterine treatment modalities. METHODS All cases with a prenatal diagnosis of BPS detected in a 10-year period (2002-2011) in two tertiary referral centers were reviewed retrospectively for intrauterine course and outcome. Up to May 2010 severe pleural effusions were treated with pleuroamniotic shunting. Thereafter, they were treated with ultrasound-guided laser coagulation of the feeding artery. RESULTS A total of 41 fetuses with BPS were included in the study. In 29 (70.7%) there was no pleural effusion or hydrops and they were treated conservatively. In 19/29 (65.5%) there was partial or complete regression of the lesion during the course of pregnancy. All were born alive (median age at delivery, 38.3 (interquartile range (IQR), 34.0-39.6) weeks) and 16 (55.2%) required sequestrectomy. Intrauterine intervention was performed in all 12 (29.3%) fetuses with pleural effusion. Seven fetuses were treated with pleuroamniotic shunting. One fetus with severe hydrops died in utero. There was no complete regression in any case of BPS in this group. Six infants were born alive (median age, 37.2 (IQR, 30.3-37.4) weeks), of which five (83.3%) required sequestrectomy. Five fetuses were treated with laser ablation of the feeding vessel. In all cases of BPS there was regression after laser ablation. All infants were delivered at term (median age, 39.1 (IQR, 38.0-40.0) weeks). One (20.0%) neonate required sequestrectomy after birth. Following intrauterine shunt placement complete regression of the lesion was significantly less frequent (0/7 (0%) with shunt placement vs 4/5 (80%) with intrafetal laser treatment) and gestational age at birth was significantly lower, compared to treatment with intrafetal laser. Complete regression of the lesion was also significantly more frequent in the laser group compared to cases without intervention. CONCLUSION In the absence of pleural effusion, the likelihood of spontaneous regression of BPS is high and the prognosis is therefore favorable. In cases with massive pleural effusion, treatment by laser ablation of the feeding vessel seems to be more effective than is pleuroamniotic shunting, with fewer complications. It might also reduce the need for postnatal surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Congenital pulmonary malformations (CPM) are mostly recognized on prenatal ultrasound scans. In a minority of cases, they may impair breathing at birth. The factors predictive of neonatal respiratory distress are not well defined, but an understanding of these factors is essential for decisions concerning the need for the delivery to take place in a tertiary care center. The aim of this study was to identify potential predictors of respiratory distress in neonates with CPM. METHODS We selected cases of prenatal diagnosis of hyperechoic and/or cystic lung lesions from RespiRare, the French prospective multicenter registry for liveborn children with rare respiratory diseases (2008-2013). Prenatal parameters were correlated with neonatal respiratory outcome. RESULTS Data were analyzed for 89 children, 22 (25%) of whom had abnormal breathing at birth. Severe respiratory distress, requiring oxygen supplementation or ventilatory support, was observed in 12 neonates (13%). Respiratory distress at birth was significantly associated with the following prenatal parameters: mediastinal shift (P = .0003), polyhydramnios (P = .05), ascites (P = .0005), maximum prenatal malformation area (P = .001), and maximum congenital pulmonary malformation volume ratio (CVR) (P = .001). Severe respiratory distress, requiring oxygen at birth, was best predicted by polyhydramnios, ascites, or a CVR >0.84. CONCLUSIONS CVR >0.84, polyhydramnios, and ascites increased the risk of respiratory complications at birth in fetuses with CPM, and especially of severe respiratory distress, requiring oxygen supplementation or more intensive intervention. In such situations, the delivery should take place in a tertiary care center.

Abstract
Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations (CCAM) of the lung are the most frequent congenital lung malformations. Their diagnosis is based on histological features. CCAM consist of bronchopulmonary cystic lesions which are classified according to the presence and cysts size. Type I CCAM are composed of large cysts (>2 cm) lined by a columnar pseudostratified epithelium. Type II CCAM contain multiple small cystic lesions (<1 cm) lined by a flattened cuboidal epithelium. Type III CCAM are more solid and contain immature structures resembling the pseudoglandular stage of lung development. Ultrasonography (US) allows early detection during the second trimester of pregnancy as cystic, and/or hyperechoic fetal lung lesions. Although most CCAM remain asymptomatic, CCAM can cause polyhydramnios or fetal hydrops, respiratory distress at birth, infections and pneumothoraces during infancy, and may give rise to malignancies. Serial US allow detection of complications, and planification of delivery. Complicated forms require an urgent treatment. In fetuses with a macrocystic life-threatening lesion, a thoraco-amniotic shunt can be placed. Microcystic compressive forms may respond to prenatal steroids. Post-natal symptomatic lesions require early surgery. The treatment of asymptomatic forms remains controversial. Some recommend a non-operative approach with a long-term clinical and radiological following, whereas other favour a preventive surgical excision. The origin of CCAM remains unknown. Recent advances suggest a transient and focal abnormality in lung development which may result from an airway obstruction. This article reviews the diagnosis, treatment, and pathophysiology of CCAM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The contribution of MRI in the prenatal evaluation of congenital lung abnormalities (CLA) has not been extensively investigated. OBJECTIVE (1) To compare diagnostic accuracy and assessment of prognostic factors between US and MRI in CLA and (2) to assess the diagnosis agreement between prenatal imaging and postnatal diagnosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We included 23 consecutive fetuses who underwent concomitant US and MRI during gestation as well as postnatal CT and surgery (n = 22). RESULTS US-MRI sets were performed at median gestational age of 26 (n = 16) and 34 (n = 22) weeks. Postnatal diagnoses were 11 congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAM), 4 bronchopulmonary sequestrations (BPS), 6 hybrid lesions and 2 cysts. US and MRI agreement was significantly better during the second trimester than during the third one (P = 0.02). Disagreements were related to missed cysts (n = 5), mediastinal shift (n = 6) and vessels (n = 5). US and MRI diagnosis agreement was present in 20 cases, including 5 cases of misdiagnosis. US and MRI were concordant with postnatal diagnosis in 17 and 16 cases, respectively. CONCLUSION In our series, no clear superiority of MRI over US in the prenatal evaluation of CLA was demonstrated, but US better demonstrated systemic feeding vessels and MRI cysts and normal lung adjacent to the lesion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have evaluated short-term neonatal outcome in infants with congenital lung lesions (CLL) but clinical course and lung function in the longer term have not yet been documented. We hypothesized that clinical course and lung function would be negatively affected by surgical resection. OBJECTIVE To evaluate respiratory symptoms and lung function longitudinally in the first year of life in infants with CLL, and to analyse differences herein between infants managed by observation only and infants whose affected lung parts were resected. METHODS We evaluated respiratory symptoms and lung function at 6 and 12 months in 30 patients with CLL. Functional residual capacity (FRC(p)) and maximal expiratory flow at functional residual capacity (V'(max)FRC) were measured with body plethysmography. SD scores were calculated for V'(max)FRC. RESULTS Prevalence of respiratory symptoms did not differ between the groups. Mean FRC(p) (95% CI) was 25.3 (23.3-27.3) in the group managed by observation versus 27.3 (25.1-29.6) in the group managed by surgery (p = 0.149). Mean (95% CI) SDS V'(max)FRC was -1.45 (-1.84 to -1.06) versus -1.41 (-1.90 to -0.91) (p = 0.892). Lung function did not change significantly over the 6-month period. CONCLUSION Surgical resection did not seem to have negatively affected the clinical course and lung function. We recommend pulmonary follow-up of all CLL patients into adulthood to further identify any long-term effects of CLL and observation or surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the perinatal outcomes in hydropic fetuses with congenital microcystic pulmonary lesions that underwent percutaneous, invasive, laser therapy. METHOD This retrospective study reviews the literature and our experience between 2004 and 2010. Characteristics of the cystic lung lesions, liquor volume (presence of polyhydramnios or not), localization of ablation (vascular vs interstitial) and gestational age at which the procedure was performed were related to outcome (survival). RESULTS In total, 16 fetuses with congenital lung lesions underwent 'invasive' percutaneous laser ablation, seven performed in our center and nine published cases. Survival rate was higher in fetuses with a subsequent postnatal diagnosis of bronchopulmonary sequestration (87.5%) compared with congenital adenomatoid malformation (28.6%; p = 0.04). The technique of vascular ablation was more successful (100%) than interstitial ablation (25.0%, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Percutaneous vascular laser ablation seems to be effective for bronchopulmonary sequestration in hydropic fetuses. Outcomes were worst following interstitial ablation for microcystic congenital adenomatoid with hydrops.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Congenital lung lesions comprise a broad spectrum of various malformations including congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM), bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS), congenital lobar emphysema, bronchial atresia and bronchogenic cyst. This review aims at the description of their natural history, and of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. STATE OF THE ART Congenital lung lesions are frequently diagnosed antenatally and many remain asymptomatic after birth. In the absence of antenatal identification, they are usually revealed by the occurrence of infection. In some cases, spontaneous resolution of the malformation can occur. Different pathogenic hypotheses are discussed for the origin of these abnormalities, and common processes appear likely to all of these malformations. Factors involved in the process of branching seem to play a particularly important role. PERSPECTIVES Prospective follow-up of operated and unoperated children would complete our knowledge about the natural history of these lesions. The contribution of experimental models has led to advances in the understanding of pathogenic mechanisms. Further studies are needed to identify the factors initiating the malformative process.
