Q

……………… is the only vascular anomaly that causes stridor in a patient with a normal (left) aortic arch.

A

The pulmonary artery (PA) sling: Aberrant left pulmonary artery, also known as pulmonary sling: left PA arising from the right PA and passing above the right main bronchus and in between the trachea and oesophagus. It may lead to compression and focal stenosis of the trachea.

27
Q

BUZZWORD: Linear lucencies

A

PIE (pulmonary interstitial Emphysema) Impending sign for pneumothorax.

28
Q

What is bronchopulmonary dysplasia?

A

RDS + 1 week= BPD or chronic lung disease of prematurity Clinically defined as abnormal CXR and persistent need for O2 at 36 post-conceptual weeks or at 28 days of life, although one may suspect BPD prior to 28 days of life.

29
Q

What is the diagnosis? Prolonged ventillation in a tiny (1Kg) , premature kid ( <32 weeks) CXR: band like opacities

A

BPD- bronchopulmonary dysplasia

30
Q

Which babies are susceptible to get meconium aspiration?

A

term/ post term secondary to stress (hypoxia)

31
Q

What is the diagnosis? “Ropy appearance” of asymmetric lung densities. Hyperinflation with alternative areas of atelectasis

A

Meconium aspiration

32
Q

What is the diagnosis? History of prolonged ruptures of membrane or known maternal infection

A

neonatal pneumonia

33
Q

What is the diagnosis? Granular opacities with bilateral pleural effusion and low lung volumes.

A

Neonatal pneumonia- B haemolytic strep

34
Q

Re Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) 1. What type is more common? 2. Primary complication

A
  1. Left posterior defect- Bochdalek (B is at the Back) 2. Pulmonary hypoplasia of the affected side
35
Q

What is associated with CDH? (3)

A
  1. Bowel malrotation 95% 2. Neural tube defect 3. Congenital heart disease
36
Q

Congenital lobar emphysema (CLE) usually affects which lobes?

A

Upper and middle lobes

37
Q

What is treatment for CLE

A

Lobectomy

38
Q

What is bronchial atresia?

A

The bronchi distal to the atretic segment become filled with mucus that ultimately forming a tubular mucocele. The distal airways are ventilated through collateral pathways and demonstrate air trapping, resulting in local hyperinflation.

39
Q

Where does the blood supply for CPAM come from?

A

Pulmonary circulation Sequestration gets its blood supply from systemic circulation

40
Q

Define sequestration:

A

aberrant lung tissue with systemic blood supply, usually from aorta.

41
Q

Common location for sequestration

A

LLL

42
Q

Two types of sequestration:

A

Intralobar Extralobar

43
Q

Define intralobar sequestration:

A

Inside pleura With pulmonary venous drainage

44
Q

Define extralobar sequestration

A

External to pleura, with systemic venous drainage May be near adrenal, mimicking an adrenal mass

45
Q

Define Scimitar syndrome

A

This is PAPVR from RLL pulm veins into either RA or IVC

46
Q

X ray findings for bronchiolitis

A

hyperexpanded lungs (best seen as flattening of the diaphragms) and increased peribronchial markings.

47
Q

Q

Define Swyer James syndrome

abnormality of pulmonary development secondary to BO, which leads to a unilateral hyperlucent lung with volume loss.

50
Q

Define COP (cryptogenic organising pneumonia)

A

COP is the clinical syndrome of organising pneumonia (OP) of unknown cause. OP may be secondary to infection, drug reaction, or inhalation. OP may also be a complication of stem cell transplant, but much less commonly than BO.

60
Q

What is poland syndrome?

A

A

• Lymphoma. • Germ cell tumor. • Thymoma (very rare in children). Normal thymus

62
