The aim of this study is to add to the scant literature on congenital pleural effusions to aid counselling and clinical management decisions.
Retrospective case series of 15 years of congenital pleural effusions resulting in live birth in a single tertiary foetal medicine/neonatal centre in North East England.
Data were available for 21 infants. Mortality rates were 43% overall. All spontaneous resolution occurred within 9 d, and active management was used where effusions persisted beyond this.
Prematurity was associated with a poor prognosis. Resolution without active management occurred before day 10 and active strategies should be considered by this time.
本研究旨在补充关于先天性胸腔积液的稀少文献，以辅助咨询和临床管理决策。
对英格兰东北部一家单一的三级胎儿医学/新生儿中心15年间导致活产的先天性胸腔积液进行回顾性病例系列研究。
有21例婴儿的数据可用。总体死亡率为43%。所有自然消退均发生在9天内，积液持续超过此时间则采用积极管理。
早产与预后不良相关。在第10天之前出现了未经积极管理的消退情况，此时应考虑采取积极策略。
