Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformation in a Retroviral Exposed Infant: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Abstract

Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a rare congenital lung malformation accounting for 25% of congenital malformations and 95% of congenital lung lesions. Diagnosis prenatally is by ultrasonography while postnatal diagnosis follows presentation with respiratory distress symptoms and radiographic imaging. Although they are often misdiagnosed radiologically, most cases of CPAM are manageable with proper assessment, diagnosis and interventions.
