    Area of Science:

    • Neonatology
    • Pediatric Pathology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasis (CPL) is a rare condition causing severe respiratory distress in newborns.
    • It is frequently associated with other congenital anomalies, particularly cardiac defects like total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage.
    • CPL can also occur with lymphatic or other non-cardiac malformations.

    Observation:

    • Chest radiographs in CPL typically reveal hyperexpanded lungs with a diffuse interstitial reticulonodular pattern.
    • Radiological differential diagnoses include total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage and pneumonia.
    • This condition often leads to death within the first 24 hours of life.

    Findings:

    • The study presents a case of neonatal congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasis.

  • Emphasis is placed on the clinical presentation, radiological imaging, and pathological findings.
  • The case underscores the rapid and severe progression of the disease.

    • Implications:

    • Early recognition and accurate diagnosis of CPL are crucial for management, despite its poor prognosis.
    • Understanding associated anomalies is important for comprehensive patient care.
    • This case contributes to the literature on rare neonatal respiratory disorders, aiding future research and clinical practice.
