Resultado postnatal de fetos con malformación adenomatoide quística pulmonar en la unidad maternofetal Clínica Colombia

Abstract

Introduction Pulmonary Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation is a condition that develops during early stages of embryonic development and the prognosis depends on the size of the lung lesion. There are very few studies that characterize this disease, none in our country. Methods We performed a case series study to describe the postnatal outcome of cases in the Clinic Colombia between 2005-2013. Results: A total of 20 cases were recluted. The most common malformation was MAQ III with 45% of cases, left location (75%), 65% were born after 35 weeks and weighing more than 2500 g. Only 30% developed associated hydrops. The mortality rate was 35% (7 patients). Discussion The MAQ is an uncommon condition that results in high morbidity and mortality in perinatal life. Studies with larger samples are needed to determine the role of prognostic factors for adverse outcomes such as the need for emergency surgery, respiratory impairment or mortality.
