[Rare case of bilateral pulmonary agenesis and prenatal diagnosis]. / Diagnostic anténatal d'une agénésie pulmonaire bilatérale : une observation exceptionnelle.

ABSTRACT

Bilateral pulmonary agenesis (BPA) is a rare congenital lung malformation. The prognosis is severe as it is incompatible with extra-uterine life. Although multiple prenatal imaging modalities are developed, the prenatal diagnosis of BPA remains problematic. We report a case of BPA observed in our unity and for which the diagnosis was not clearly identified during the evaluation. This report illustrates the need to consider all the imaging aspects and particularly during US examination suspecting BPA.
