Pulmonary airway malformations

Pulmonary airway malformations

There are three groups: congenital cystic adenomatoid malfor - mations (CCAMs), bronchopulmonary sequestrations (BPSs) - and congenital lobar emphysema (CLE). The sequestrations may be intralobar or extralobar and are accompanied by an aberrant arterial supply from a major vessel, usually the aorta. Hybrid lesions have both a CCAM and a BPS. Some malf orma - tions cause respiratory or cardiovascular compromise at birth and require excision, but most are asymptomatic and imaging may be delayed for several months.
