Antenatal Imaging of Chest Malformations

  • Chapter
Book cover Radiological Imaging of the Neonatal Chest

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

  • 156 Accesses

Abstract

Congenital chest anomalies were considered rare lesions prior to the era of fetal imaging. Routine obstetric sonograms have contributed to a sharp increase in the number of diagnosed cases in the last two decades; the antenatal recognition of congenital lung malformations and anomalies has consequently raised the controversial issue of their management in asymptomatic newborns (Pilling 1998).
