25
pulmonary hypoplasia results in
decreased organ size and weight, small undeveloped lungs
26
pulmonary hypoplasia most commonly occurs from
prolonged oligohydramnios or secondary to small thoracic cavity resulting from structural/chromosomal abnormality
27
_____ abnormalities may result in lethal pulmonary hypoplasia
kidney
28
abnormalities that may cause pulmonary hypoplasia
- cardiac defects - skeletal dysplasias - CNS disorders - Trisomy
29
________ pulmonary agenisis or hypoplasia is rare
unilateral
30
every fetus with mediastinal shift and chest mass, the differential should include
absent lung
31
prognosis for pulmonary hypoplasia: ____% die after birth
80%
32
severity of pulmonary hypoplasia depends on
when it occurred during pregnancy
33
thoracic circumference below the ____ percentile suggests pulmonary hypoplasia
5th
34
echo free masses that replace normal lung parenchyma
cystic lung masses
35
most common lung cyst
bronchogenic cyst
36
cyst that lacks any communication with the trachea or bronchial tree
bronchogenic cyst
37
bronchogenic cysts typically occur in the _____ and are ____ to the diaphragm
mediastinum or lung inferior
38
accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity
pleural effusion
39
most common reason for pleural effusion
chylothorax
40
occuring as a right-sided unilateral collection of fluid secondary to malformed thoracic duct
chylothorax
41
______ often accompanies chylothorax resulting from esophageal compression
hydramnios
42
pleural effusion is also known as
hydrothorax
43
pleural effusion rarely is seen before ___
15 weeks gestation
44
pleural effusion may be seen before 15 weeks when it is associated with
turner or downs syndrome
45
mortality rate of pleural effusion
50%
46
prognosis with pleural effusion is poorer when associated with
hydrops
47
echo-dense/hyperechoic masses in the lung tissue
solid lung masses
48
extra lobe of lung separated from the normal tracheobronchial tree
pulmonary sequestration
49
pulmonary sequestration most likely occurs from
separate outpouching of foregut separation of a segment of developing lung from the tracheobroncial tree
50
pulmonary sequestration lung tissue is ___
nonfunctioning
51
pulmonary sequestration usually occurs on the ___ side
left
52
pulmonary sequestration rarely occurs ____
below diaphragm
53
intralobar sequestration has a ____ prognosis
highly favorable
54
extralobar sequestration has a ___ prognosis
poor
55
extralobar sequestration poor prognosis is because of
associated anomaies and hydrops

62
type 3 CCAM looks like
bulky, large, echo-dense masses of entire lung lobe may cause mediastinal structures to shift - lung compression - hydrops - hydramnios secondary to esophageal compression
63
type 1 CCAM has a ___ prognosis
favorable
64
type 2 and 3 CCAM have _____ prognosis
poor
65

66
congenital bronchial atresia is more common in the ____ lobe
left upper lobe
67
congenital bronchial atresia appears as:::
an echogenic pulmonary mass

69
congenital diaphragmatic hernia results from
congenital defect in fetal diaphragm
70
congenital diaphragmatic hernia occurs where?
posterior aspect of diaphragm
71
most common type of diaphragmatic defect

72
Foramen of Bochdalek occurs ____ and _____ in the diaphragm
posterior and lateral
73
foramen of bochdalek accounts for more than _____% of defects
90%
74
foramen of bochdalek usually occurs on the ____ side
left side of diaphragm
75
_____ may be seen in throacic cavity from foramen of bochdalek

foramen of Morgagni
78
hernias on the right side of the diaphragm allow ____ _____ ______ to enter the chest
liver, gallbladder, intenstines
79
hydrops is not usually present with ______ sided CDH
left sided
80
left-sided CDH sonographically appears:
- stomach in the chest - small right lung - small left ventricle of heart
81
right-sided CDH sonographically appears:
- liver appears in chest | - heart deviated to the left
82
poor prognosis in CDH if
detected before birth - stomach in chest - left side of heart undeveloped - congenital heart disease present
83
