Yenidoğanda Nadir Bir Solunum Sıkıntısı Nedeni: Konjenital Kistik Adenoid Malformasyon

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a rare lung disorder developed as a result of the improper fusion of the bronchial buds with the alveolar mesenchyme during embryological development. Depending on the type of lesion, CCAM tissue pressure in newborns may cause respiratory distress and may later manifest itself as recurrent pulmonary infections in young adults. Lobectomy has been recommended in symptomatic. patients; whereas surgical intervention may be delayed in asymptomatic patients for 6-12 months.
