Summary
Although fetal lung pathology is rare, associated perinatal morbidity and mortality can be significant. This chapter will focus on the most common fetal pulmonary pathologies (excluding congenital diaphragmatic hernia, covered separately), reviewing prenatal diagnosis, prognostic factors, prenatal intervention, and outcomes.
