| Abstract: | Congenital lung anomalies vary in origin with numerous theories about overall formation. While many of these lesions may be asymptomatic or incidentally detected, on occasion these can have potentially life-threatening effects such as mass effect on adjacent structures and pulmonary hypoplasia. Prenatal diagnosis is advantageous to help direct prenatal counseling and perinatal care. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the most widely used modalities for fetal imaging and provide complementary information. This review describes congenital fetal chest lesions with a focus on differentiating imaging features. |
