Retained fetal lung fluid in two neonates with congenital absence of the pulmonary valve and tetralogy of Fallot. 1981

J L Strife, and R B Towbin, and P Francis, and J P Kuhn

Chest radiographs obtained at birth in two neonates with absent pulmonary valve and tetralogy of Fallot demonstrated asymmetrical lung aeration. This finding was attributed to delay in resorption of fetal lung fluid. It is postulated that in the initial hours of life, the dilated pulmonary artery compressed the bronchus and delayed egress of fetal lung fluid. Over a 24-hour interval, the fluid was resorbed, resulting in the more typical pattern of hyperinflated lung and markedly dilated pulmonary artery. These cases are presumably the first of their kind to be reported.
