PURPOSE: To present a single-center experience with 25 cases of @entity600 and the review the literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the medical records of @entity1 with @entity600 who were operated between July 1997 and July 2007 in our institute; we examined the modes of presentations, management, and outcome. Outcome of all @entity1 was assessed over a short follow-up period (average 1.8 months). RESULTS: Out of 25 @entity1 , 18 (72%) were male and 7 (28%) were female. Age of @entity1 ranged from 1 day to 11 years. The histopathological diagnosis was @entity2977 [ @entity2977 ; n = 14 (56%)], @entity14943 [ @entity14943 ; n = 5 (20%)], pulmonary sequestrations [PS; n = 3 (12%)], and @entity5619 [ @entity5619 ; n = 3 (12%)]. Antenatal diagnosis was available in only 2 (8%) @entity1 . The common presenting symptoms were @entity649 and @entity5837 . Lobectomy was the procedure of choice. Mortality was 16% (n = 4; M: F = 3: 1). Two @entity1 died because of @entity295 , one from compromised cardiac function, and one from aspiration which might possibly have been prevented. CONCLUSION: @entity1 with progressive @entity649 due to these anomalies may require urgent surgical intervention regardless of age. The surgical outcome is favorable, with manageable complications. Plain x-ray chest and CT of thorax are usually sufficient for diagnosis and planning of treatment. Pathological diagnosis may differ from the imaging diagnosis. Mortality is found to be more in neonates. Apart from initial stabilization, resection of lesion and careful postoperative care is necessary to reduce mortality and morbidity.
