Abstract
Embryology of the airway and lungs, of the heart and great vessels and of the other thoracic structures is well described in specialist texts on the subject (Fitzgerald and Fitzgerald 1994; Lamers et al. 1992; Larsen 1997). This section will summarise these, with special reference to those aspects of embryology that are relevant to the radiological diagnosis of neonatal chest conditions.
