Abstract

Pulmonary malformations comprise various anomalies of the respiratory system, including congenital malformation of the pulmonary airway (CVMAP), formerly known as cystic adenomatous malformation, a rare abnormality in the development of the terminal airways. Diagnosis can be made from the prenatal period by gestational ultrasound, sometimes finding serious fetal repercussions such as hydrops fetalis. The clinical presentation is variable, from asymptomatic to severe pulmonary complications. It usually presents with respiratory distress in the newborn. We present the case of a female newborn with prenatal diagnosis. Physical examination, chest radiographs, and pulmonary tomography support the diagnosis. Histopathological study confirms the diagnosis.
