Kanika Chauhan, Aashutosh Sharma

Abstract :

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation is a rare, usually unilateral entity of the lung. It was first reported in the year 1787. It is marked by presence of multiple cysts with normal lung tissue in between. It is mostly diagnosed antenatally. This condition may present as respiratory distress at birth, or recurrent chest infections during early years of life. Associations with other congenital anomalies may be seen. Fetal hydrops, cardiac and skeletal anomalies, potters syndrome, gastrointestinal atresia are common co-findings.
