Unilateral lung agenesis is a rare congenital abnormality that typically presents with respiratory distress after birth. Prognostic factors include the side of the lung affected along with the presence or absence of other congenital abnormalities. Prenatal imaging can make the diagnosis that can assist the healthcare team in preparing to care for the neonate, as well as set expectations for the family. In this case series, we describe three cases of unilateral lung agenesis, two infants with right lung agenesis, and one with the left. We describe their presentation, provide a brief clinical course, and discuss outcomes.
单侧肺不发育是一种罕见的先天性异常,通常在出生后出现呼吸窘迫。预后因素包括受影响的肺的侧别以及其他先天性异常的存在与否。产前影像学检查可做出诊断,这有助于医护团队为护理新生儿做好准备,并为家庭设定预期。在本病例系列中,我们描述了三例单侧肺不发育病例,两例为右肺不发育的婴儿,一例为左肺不发育。我们描述了他们的表现,提供了简要的临床病程,并讨论了结果。
