CONGENITAL PULMONARY AIRWAY MALFORMATION – CASE PRESENTATION

Abstract

Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a rare cystic lesion, whose prognosis depends on the extent of the lesion, the association of other congenital abnormalities, the associated pulmonary pathology and the possibility of curative surgery. We present the case of a 5-month-old infant diagnosed with bilateral CPAM, based on clinical and imaging investigations, with acute pulmonary manifestations and without other associated congenital anomalies.
