Clinicopathological Study of Congential Pulomonary Airway Malformations
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a rare developmental abnormality of the lung. The underlying feature of a CPAM is an excessive over growth of terminal respiratory bronchioles and forming cysts of various sizes. This abnormal lung tissue is of defective epithelial-mesenchymal architecture. Aim: The aim of the study is to study the various modes of presentation of CPAM, the effectiveness of antenatal ultrasonogram and pathology of these lesions. Materials and Methods: All patients with radiologically proven CPAM were included in this study. The patients were subjected to detailed clinical examination, and relevant investigations were performed, namely, chest X-ray, and computed tomography (CT) scan chest. CPAM diagnosed cases were undergone thoracotomy and excision of affected lobe. Results: Of these 20 patients, seven were antenatally diagnosed. Six patients presented with fever and cough, CT scan detected 16 cases of CPAM, lower lobe was affected in 11 patients, in our series, 94% of cases belong to stocker Type I lesion. Conclusion: An early intervention of CPAM patients causes less morbidity.
