Imaging evaluation of congenital lung abnormalities in infants and children.
Congenital lung abnormalities include a wide spectrum of conditions and are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in infants and children. This article discusses focal lung abnormalities and the dysmorphic lung. Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations have been included at the end of the article. Anomalies affecting the pulmonary parenchyma, its arterial supply, and venous drainage are thus discussed.
