Abstract

Congenital lung malformations can result in significant morbidity and mortality in children. Pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon congenital malformation of the lung that can cause complications even in fetal life. We herein present a newborn with extra-lobar sequestration (ELS) that lead to hydrops fetalis necessitating fetal intervention.

Keywords: Congenital lung malformations; Extra-lobar pulmonary sequestration; Fetal pleural effusion.
