Successful outcome in a case of cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung complicated by fetal hydrops, using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Severe fetal hydrops associated with cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung inexplicably resolved spontaneously at 33-34 weeks' gestation. Following postnatal resection of the lesion which was of the macrocystic variety, the infant's respiratory status deteriorated, requiring 1 week of complicated support with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The baby survived and was discharged.
