Q

What distinguishes Intralobar from Extralobar Pulmonary Sequestrations?

A

Intralobar sequestrations are located within the lung parenchyma and usually present in older children. Extralobar sequestrations are outside the lung, often in the thorax or mediastinum, and commonly occur in infants.

Q

How does Oligohydramnios contribute to Pulmonary Hypoplasia?

A

Oligohydramnios reduces amniotic fluid, decreasing pressure on the developing lungs, which disrupts normal growth and leads to underdeveloped lungs.

Q

What are the key histological features of Hemodynamic Pulmonary Edema?

A

Engorged alveolar capillaries, pink edema fluid in alveoli, and hemosiderin-laden macrophages (“heart failure cells”) are characteristic.

Q

What is the primary composition of hyaline membranes in Diffuse Alveolar Damage (DAD)?

25
Q

What role do neutrophils play in ARDS?

A

Neutrophils release proteases and oxidants, causing alveolar damage, inflammation, and hyaline membrane formation.

26
Q

How does Pulmonary Infarction appear macroscopically, and why?

A

It appears as a hemorrhagic, wedge-shaped area, often in the lower lobes, due to dual blood supply from the bronchial arteries.

27
Q

What clinical sign often indicates Pulmonary Infarction?

A

Hemoptysis (coughing blood) occurs as blood leaks into the alveolar spaces.

28
Q

How does BMPR2 mutation contribute to Pulmonary Hypertension?

A

BMPR2 mutations increase smooth muscle cell survival and proliferation, leading to thickened arterial walls, higher resistance, and pulmonary hypertension.

29
Q

What are the key clinical features of Goodpasture Syndrome?

A

Goodpasture Syndrome involves hemoptysis from lung hemorrhage and rapidly worsening kidney failure due to crescentic glomerulonephritis.

30
Q

How do Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemosiderosis and Goodpasture Syndrome differ?

A

Both cause alveolar hemorrhage, but Goodpasture Syndrome has anti-basement membrane antibodies, while Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemosiderosis has no known cause or antibodies.

31
Q

What best describes pulmonary hypoplasia?

A

Underdevelopment of the lungs

32
Q

What is the most common type of foregut cyst found in the lungs?
