title: Neonates with congenital cardiac defects with decreased pulmonary blood flow.
abstract: Lesions that cause decreased pulmonary blood flow are those that obstruct the RVOT. In general, the radiographic presentation includes the following: (1) Thin, poorly visualized pulmonary blood vessels with little extension beyond the perihilar region; (2) Dark, hyperlucent lung fields; and (3) Moderate to severe cardiomegaly, depending on the cardiac defect(s) present.
