Abstract Body

Primary fetal lung and airway anomalies are rare. Recognition and understanding of these lesions has improved over the last decades mainly due to improvements in prenatal ultrasound. With the introduction of fetal therapy options an increasing number of children survive with larger and more severe forms of fetal pleural effusion (FPE), congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAM) and bronchopulmonary sequestrations (BPS). In this presentation I will discuss the current views on etiology and pathophysiology of fetal lung lesions, the various pre- and postnatal management options (including fetal interventions) and report on the perinatal and neonatal outcome as well as what is known on long-term outcome.
