Abstract:
Objective To investigate CT features of congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) in children, and to explore their relationship with pathology. Methods Clinical manifestations and CT features of 142 CPAM children confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed. The children were classified to 5 pathological types according to Stocker's type. CT features were analyzed and compared with pathological results. Results Fifty-two cases (52/142, 36.62%) were classified as Stocker type 1 CPAM, and CT showed multiple unequal air cysts in lung fields, while 68 cases (68/142, 47.89%) were classified as Stocker type 2 CPAM, CT showed multiple small air cysts in lung fields. One case (1/142, 0.70%) was classified as Stocker type 3 CPAM, CT showed large consolidation in right lung and inflatable bronchi shadows and small cava containing air were noticed. Meanwhile, 21 cases (21/142, 14.79%) were classified as Stocker type 4 CPAM, CT showed giant cysts with multiple septa on the periphery of the lung. No Stocker type 0 case was identified. Conclusion CT can effectively indicate the pathological type of CPAM.
