Abstract
Congenital chest anomalies were considered rare lesions prior to the era of fetal imaging (Cloutier 1993). Routine obstetrical sonograms have contributed to a sharp increase in the number of diagnosed cases in the last decades (Tables 8.1, 8.2). The antenatal recognition of congenital lung malformations and anomalies has consequently raised the controversial issue of their management in asymptomatic newborns (Pilling 1998; Aziz 2004; Davenport 2004)
