| Abstract:
|
We reported a death case of a baby girl due to symptomatic left pulmonary aplasia. Pulmonary aplasia or agenesis is a rare case of pulmonary underdevelopment. Multimodality imaging have been used for diagnosis and follow up of the bronchopulmonary malformation from antenatal to postnatal period. No treatments needed in asymptomatic cases. Oxygen therapy, rehabilitation, prevention and treatment of infections, bronchodilators and other treatments are required in symptomatic cases. Surgical procedure may be done to stump removal if postural drainage and antibiotics fail to resolve the infection. Prognosis depends on many factors, includes the severity of the congenital anomalies, involvement and functionality of the normal lung in any disease process, and many others.
