ABSTRACT

Congenital lung anomalies are rare lung diseases,which caused by the deformity of the anatomical structure of the respiratory system in the development during the embryonic development.At present,there is a lack of standardization of nomenclature and classification for children with congenital lung anomalies.Based on the most upto-date research and treatment,this paper classifies congenital lung anomalies into 5 broad categories:bronchial anomalies,vascular anomalies,pulmonary parenchyma anomalies,combined lung and vascular anomalies,pulmonary lymphatic vessels anomalies.Knowledge of these areas is essential for accurate,timely,diagnosis,which aids in optimizing patient outcomes.
