There are many congenital anomalies of the lung, some of
which have no clinical symptoms and are detected incidentally,
while others, particularly in the neonatal and infant period, are
recognized by their typical signs, symptoms, and radiological
appearance. Some congenital lung anomalies are so important
that they can cause the death of the patient if not diagnosed
and treated early. Classification of congenital lung anomalies
is difficult since these anomalies may be related to the airway,
arterial and venous vascular system, pulmonary parenchyma,
and primitive anterior intestinal anomalies from which the
lung originates, and some anomalies may have several etiologic
origins. In this review, all subgroups of congenital pulmonary
malformations will be discussed.
