Early Surgical Resection for Symptomatic Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation (CCAM) in the Newborn Child
Journal Title: International Journal of Surgery & Surgical Techniques - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) of the lung is a rare congenital abnormality. We present here a one month male child who had no respiratory distress after birth, but gradually developed dyspnea. The diagnosis was made prenatally. After further diagnosis (chest CT wich reveals a large lesion with mediastinal shifting ) due to the deterioration of the clinical picture, surgical treatment is indicated in the first month of life.
