Q

How many cysts do congenital pulmonary airway malformations cause?

A

Varied, from a single large cyst to several smaller cysts

27
Q

What are the 5 stages of lung development?

A

Every Pulmonologist Can See Alveoli

Embryonic, Pseudoglandular, Canalicular, Saccular, Alveolar

28
Q

How is pulmonary airway malformation diagnosed?

A

Like all 3 congenital parenchymal abnormalities, with radiographic evaluation

29
Q

What causes extralobar pulmonary sequestration?

A

Congenital

30
Q

How does congenital lobar emphysema present after birth?

A

Within hours, a worsening hyperlucent area can be seen on CXR

31
Q

How do rings and slings present?

A

Stridor, trouble swallowing, respiratory distress

32
Q

How is pulmonary airway malformation treated?

A

Like all 3 congenital parenchymal abnormalities, with surgery

33
Q

Which lobe is mostly frequently effected by lobar emphysema?

A

The left upper lobe

34
Q

How is Laryngomalacia treated?

A

No treatment unless aspiration or reflux occurs, in which case surgery is indicated

35
Q

What occurs during the Embryonic Stage?

A

Outpouching of the foregut into the Mesoderm results in the formation of the Trachea and Bronchi

36
Q

What is Respiratory Distress Syndrome?

A

RDS occurs when a newborn has lungs with insufficient compliance, making breathing difficult; typically require ventilation

37
Q

When does the Saccular Stage occur?

A

26 - 36 weeks

38
Q

How does RDS present on CXR?

A

Grey everywhere due to diffuse pulmonary edema from lack of surfactant

39
Q

Are males or females more effected by intralobar pulmonary sequestration?

A

Equal among males and females

40
Q

Do Alveoli stop maturing at birth?

A

No, continue to mature up to 8 years after birth

41
Q

When does the Embryonic Stage occur?

A

3 - 6 weeks

42
Q

What effect do antenatal steroids have on a premie?

A

Antenatal steroids given to mother promote surfactant production in the child

43
Q

What are the congenital vascular abnormalities?

A

Vascular rings/slings

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation

44
Q

What occurs during the Canalicular Stage?

A

The primitive alveolar ducts form, and gas exchange can be supported after birth, but lack surfactant

45
Q

How is Laryngomalacia diagnosed?

A

Bronchoscopy can diagnose Laryngomalacia

46
Q

How is Tracheo-bronchomalacia diagnosed and treated?

A

Bronchoscopy + supportive or surgery if severe

47
Q

How is tracheoesophageal fistula treated?

A

Surgical

48
Q

What occurs during the Pseudoglandular Stage?

A

Q

What causes Tracheo-bronchomalacia?

A

Etiology unknown, may involve cartilage

50

Q

What develops in the Saccular Stage?
