BACKGROUND: The not heart thoracic anomalies are caused by different abnormalities in the embryonic period with similar physiopathologic mechanisms. The prenatal treatment by means of decompression can improve substantially the clinical results in these patients. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate, in a qualitative way, the effect of the thoracoamniotic shunts and thoracocentesis in the perinatal outcome in fetuses with not heart thoracic anomalies. METHODS: Twenty-two articles were revised describing 308 cases of fetuses with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM), 25 cases of hydrothorax and 55 cases of broncopulmonary sequestration (BPS). We analyzed the adverse prognostic factors that indicated the treatment election in uterus as well as complications and perinatal outcome. RESULTS: Of the 388 cases of not heart thoracic anomalies, 250 fetuses were managed conservatively, and in 102 fetuses handling in uterus was started. Hydrops was identified as the worst prognostic factor to these fetuses, with a survival rate of 55.7%. The global survival was of 56.5% (155 cases) in the fetuses with CCAM, 98.1% (52 cases) in the fetuses with BPS and of 80% (20 cases) in the fetuses with hydrothorax. CONCLUSIONS: When having a fetus with some of these pathologies, it should be evaluated in an individual and integral way; according to the gestational age when diagnosed, as well as the type of lesion and the presence or absence of fetal dropsy to decide between fetal therapy or expectant handling.
