In this review, normal pulmonary development is considered and several pulmonary disorders such as pulmonary hypoplasia, pulmonary sequestration, congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation, hyaline membrane disease, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, Wilson-Mikity syndrome and perinatal pneumonia are presented in light of the current literature.
