Pulmonary agenesis is a rare congenital disorder with large variability in presentation and prognosis. We describe a full-term infant born with right-sided pulmonary agenesis who underwent thoracoscopic placement of a tissue expander. He ultimately died of pulmonary hypertension. Immunohistology showed intimal hyperplasia without the loss of endothelial caveolin-1 expression. A literature review revealed that while some of these patients have favorable outcome, many succumb despite therapy.
肺不发育是一种罕见的先天性疾病,其临床表现和预后差异很大。我们描述了一名足月出生的患有右侧肺不发育的婴儿,该婴儿接受了胸腔镜下组织扩张器置入术。他最终死于肺动脉高压。免疫组织学检查显示内膜增生,但内皮小窝蛋白-1表达未丧失。文献综述表明,虽然这些患者中有一些预后良好,但许多患者尽管接受了治疗仍会死亡。
