Unilateral lung hypoplasia: report of three cases
1Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, USA.
Abstract:
We describe three cases of unilateral pulmonary agenesis as an etiological basis for a mediastinal shift in utero. This cause of mediastinal shift is easily overlooked in the differential diagnosis, which includes diaphragmatic hernia, adenomatoid cystic malformation, and sequestrations. The sonographic findings and obstetric outcome are presented.
