Abstract

CPAMs are bronchopulmonary malformations frequently identified on routine prenatal ultrasound. Complications related to rapid growth and mass effect in the chest include polyhydramnios, pulmonary hypoplasia, and hydrops. Hydrops in CPAM is usually fatal without intervention. Prenatal treatment options range from steroid administration, open fetal surgery, thoracoamniotic shunting, or third trimester ex-utero intrapartum treatment by EXIT-to-resection. We reviewed a single center experience with CPAMs and the impact on perinatal outcome.
