Types of Fetal Lung Anomalies (2 of 10)

Learn about several different types of fetal lung anomalies and how they are treated. http://fetalsurgery.chop.edu Lori Howell, DNP, RN, and Drs. N. Scott Adzick and Alan Flake from the Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia discuss different types of lung lesions and how they can vary in size. Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is the most common type of lung lesion. It is a benign lesion with no known cause that appears as a lump in the chest. A small cyst is referred to as microcystic lesion; a large cyst is called a macrocystic lesion. Management and prognosis of CCAM depends largely on the size of the lesion or mass. Another type of fetal lung lesion is a pulmonary sequestration, also known as bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS), which is like an extra piece of lung that doesn’t work, but takes up space in the chest. BPS can be diagnosed before birth with a colorflow Doppler ultrasound that shows an arterial blood vessel coming off the aorta that feeds the mass. A hybrid lung lesion is a blend of the first two — CCAM and a sequestration. Whatever type of fetal lung problem your baby has, the team at the Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment is prepared to provide an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan that will be best for your baby’s unique condition. In this video series, parents, nurses and doctors from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment talk about the different types of fetal lung lesions, the importance of accurate diagnosis and monitoring, and the most advanced treatment options currently available. They also discuss follow-up care and long-term outcomes for babies diagnosed with fetal lung lesions.
