The Fetal Chest

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

Abstract

The study of the fetal chest is an important component of the standard fetal US examination. Congenital thoracic malformations may be responsible for fetal or neonatal death due to mediastinal compression or respiratory distress (Hubbard and Crombleholme 1998a). The discovery of a fetal thoracic malformation modifies the perinatal management and implies a transfer to a specialized neonatal department. The discovery of a fetal thoracic anomaly may also lead to the diagnosis of a polymalformation syndrome or to a chromosomal anomaly (Goldstein 2000).
