PATHOLOGY Summer/PPT Based | Lungs (Diseases of the Respiratory System | BSOT 1-1 | NLR-RAC Topic Outline: ATELECTASIS Congenital Anomalies Atelectasis - Collapsed lung Pulmonary Edema - Generally REVERSIBLE; except contraction Acute Lung Injury and ARDS Complications: Obstructive and Restrictive Lung Diseases o Inadequate oxygenation Fibrosing Diseases Pulmonary Vascular Diseases o ↑ Risk of infection Pulmonary Infections Tumors Type Cause Tracheal Pleura Deviation Resorption Airway Ipsilateral obstruction INTRODUCTION Compression Fluid, Air or Contralateral mass in the CONGENITAL ANOMALIES pleural cavity Contraction Pulmonary or None in initial Pulmonary Hypoplasia pleural stages fibrosis Ipsilateral if long standing - Defective development of both lungs (one may be more affected than the other) resulting in decreased weight, volume, and acini for body weight and gestational age. PULMONARY EDEMA - Caused by abnormalities that compress the lung or impede normal lung expansion in utero, such as - Leakage of excessive interstitial fluid which congenital diaphragmatic hernia and accumulates in alveolar spaces oligohydramnios. - Can result from hemodynamic disturbances - Fatal in the early neonatal period. (hemodynamic or cardiogenic pulmonary edema) or from direct increases in capillary permeability, as a Foregut Cysts result of microvascular injury - Arise from abnormal detachments of primitive foregut - Most often located in the hilum or middle mediastinum. - Classified as bronchogenic (most common), esophageal, or enteric - The wall contains bronchial glands, cartilage, and smooth muscle - (+) compression of nearby structures or are found incidentally Pulmonary Sequestration - Discrete area of lung tissue that - Lacks any connection to the airway system Hemodynamic Pulmonary Edema - Abnormal blood supply arising from the aorta or its branches - Due to increased hydrostatic pressure, as occurs Types: most commonly in left- sided congestive heart failure.  Extralobar sequestrations - Fluid accumulates initially in the basal regions of the - External to the lung and most commonly come to lower lobes because hydrostatic pressure is greatest attention in infants as mass lesions. in these sites (dependent edema). - May be associated with other congenital anomalies. - (+) Alveolar microhemorrhages and hemosiderin-  Intralobar sequestrations laden macrophages (“heart failure” cells) - Occur within the lung. - Long-standing pulmonary congestion: hemosiderin- - Present in older children, often due to recurrent laden macrophages are abundant, and fibrosis and localized infection or bronchiectasis. thickening of the alveolar walls cause the soggy lungs to become firm and brown (brown induration).
