Pulmonary sequestration can cause nonimmune hydrops fetalis, a serious condition requiring intervention. Early diagnosis and surgical removal of these lung abnormalities are crucial for infant survival.

Area of Science:

  • Perinatology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Neonatology

Background:

  • Nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is a rare condition characterized by excessive fluid accumulation in fetal tissues.
  • Intrathoracic pathology is an uncommon cause of NIHF, with pulmonary sequestration being particularly rare.

Observation:

  • This report details three cases of antenatally diagnosed NIHF associated with pulmonary sequestrations.
  • Clinical presentations included fetal distress, massive pleural effusions, and respiratory distress post-birth.
  • Imaging revealed intrathoracic masses, with feeding arteries identified in two cases.

Findings:

  • All three infants underwent successful surgical resection of their pulmonary sequestrations after hydrops resolution.
  • Two cases involved extralobar pulmonary sequestration, and one involved intralobar sequestration.

  • Post-surgical outcomes were positive, with resolution of hydrops and respiratory compromise.

    • Implications:

    • Pulmonary sequestration should be considered in the differential diagnosis of antenatal NIHF.
    • Prompt diagnosis and surgical management are vital for improving outcomes in affected neonates.
    • This association highlights the importance of thorough prenatal imaging and postnatal evaluation.
