  2. Alveolar capillary dysplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_capillary_dysplasia

    Alveolar capillary dysplasia (ACD) is a rare, congenital diffuse lung disease characterized by abnormal blood vessels in the lungs that cause highly elevated pulmonary blood pressure and an inability to effectively oxygenate and remove carbon dioxide from the blood.

  3. Congenital pulmonary airway malformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_pulmonary...

    Congenital pulmonary airway malformation in a fetus, ultrasound at 19 weeks - transverse. Stomach on left image; heart on right image: displaced to right by cystic mass. The earliest point at which a CPAM can be detected is by prenatal ultrasound. The classic description is of an echogenic lung mass that gradually disappears over subsequent ...

  4. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchopulmonary_dysplasia

    Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD; part of the spectrum of chronic lung disease of infancy) is a chronic lung disease which affects premature infants. Premature (preterm) infants who require treatment with supplemental oxygen or require long-term oxygen are at a higher risk. [ 1 ]

  5. Pulmonary hypoplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_hypoplasia

    Medical diagnosis of pulmonary hypoplasia in utero may use imaging, usually ultrasound or MRI. [12] [13] The extent of hypoplasia is a very important prognostic factor. [14]One study of 147 fetuses (49 normal, 98 with abnormalities) found that a simple measurement, the ratio of chest length to trunk length, was a useful predictor of postnatal respiratory distress. [15]

    This category reflects the organization of International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision. Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes Q30-Q34 within Chapter XVII: Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities should be included in this category.

  8. Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_alveolar_proteinosis

    Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare lung disorder characterized by an abnormal accumulation of surfactant-derived lipoprotein compounds within the alveoli of the lung. The accumulated substances interfere with the normal gas exchange and expansion of the lungs, ultimately leading to difficulty breathing and a predisposition to ...

  9. Transient tachypnea of the newborn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_tachypnea_of_the...

    It is caused by retained fetal lung fluid due to impaired clearance mechanisms. [1] It is the most common cause of respiratory distress in term neonates. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It consists of a period of tachypnea (rapid breathing, higher than the normal range of 30–60 times per minute).
