EVALUATION STUDY

Pre and perinatal aspects of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung.
Journal of Maternal-fetal & Neonatal Medicine 2014 Februrary
OBJECTIVE: To identify the incidence of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung (CCAM) at birth; to evaluate prenatal and perinatal history, association with clinical and sociodemographic variables and concordance between CT scan results and anatomopathology studies.
METHOD: Descriptive study based on the registry of malformed newborns, deliveries and patients records between August 1990 and November 2010. Ultrasonic, clinical, imaging and anatomopathologic information were studied. Association studies were made using chi-square test. Kappa was used to correlate CT scan to anatomopathology results.
RESULTS: The incidence was 1:1980 (25/49 503). The mean gestational age for detection by ultrasonography was 24 ± 3.7 weeks. There were progression of the lesions in 11 cases (44%), stability in 6 (24%) and regression in 8 (32%). Three cases of CCAM followed due to polyhydramnios/hydrops died. There were neither familial cases nor association with sex, weight, age or maternal parity (p > 0.15). Radiographic abnormalities were found in 22/23 studied patients. The correspondence between CT scan and anatomopathologic was 0.77 (Kappa).
CONCLUSIONS: The incidence was higher than the one described in the literature, probably, because it is a reference center in fetal medicine. The prenatal lesion involution rate was 32%, an intermediate proportion. There was good concordance between CT scan and anatomopathologic results. The polyhydramnios/hydrops were predictive of worst prognosis.
