Seung Hyun Seo, Yu Sub Shin, Ki Sik Min, Jong Wan Kim, Kwang Nam Kim, Ki Yang Ryoo
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1992;35(3):428-433.   Published online March 15, 1992
Lung agenesis is the very rare disease which is defined as total absence of the pulmonary parenchyma, its vascular supporting structure, and bronchi beyond the carina. In many cases, there are coexisting anomalies involving the skeletal, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary systems. Also, severe respiratory infections are common in infancy and may lead to pneumonia and death. When associated anomalies are...

Unilateral lung agenesis is defined with absence of parenchyme, supporting structures and airway below the level of the carina. Lung agenesis is associated with other anomaly of cardiovascular system, musculoskeletal system and genitourinary system in about 50% cases. In most cases, the diseases is found due to respiratoru problems. Prognosis is variable but largely depends on the associated anomaly and...

Unilateral lung agenesis is a rare disease with associated anomalies of soft tissue, the musculos- keletal system, cardiovascular system and gastrointestinal system in 50-60% of cases. When associat- ed anomalies are absent, the disease may not be discovered during a lifetime, but in most of the cases, frequent respiratory infection or associated anomalies make it possible for diagnosis of the disease. Since early diagnosis...

A Case of Unilateral Lung Agenesis (Right) Associated with Skeletal Anomalies.
Woan Chul Suh, Dong Youl Lee, Kyung Ae Lee, Hee Ju Kim, Sung Ill Ahn, Bom Woo Yeom
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1985;28(8):795-800.   Published online August 31, 1985
Lung agenesis is defined as total absence of pulmonary parenchyma with its supporting vasculature, as well as the main stem bronchi on one or both sides. This anomaly is usually associated with extrapulmonary anomalies such as cardiac, vascular, gastrointestinal, skeletal, genitourinary, and miscellaneous anomalies. We experienced a case of unilateral lung agenesis(Right) in a three days old female premature baby, who...
