Abstract

Aim. To present the experience of using a thoracoamniotic bypass for the treatment of a fetus diagnosed with nonimmune fetal dropsy, against the background of cystic adenomatous lung malformation type I. Key points. Congenital cystic adenomatous pulmonary malformation (CAPRL) is a benign lung lesion that appears before birth as a cyst or mass in the chest. The macrocystic form of this defect is associated with a significant risk of pulmonary hypoplasia, pleural effusion, and non-immune fetal hydrops. We present our own observation of a patient with type 1 CAPRL in the fetus and signs of non-immune hydrops. Conclusion. The use of intrauterine thoraco-amniotic shunting can stop the manifestations of hydrops in type I CAPRL in the fetus. Keywords: cystic adenomatous malformation of the lungs in the fetus, non-immune hydrops, thoraco-amniotic shunt.
