摘要: We assessed the maturity of lungs and radial count in 10 infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia who died immediate perinatal period. The were all immature, a histologic appearance less than stated gestational age. ipsilateral mature contralateral ones. count, an assessment acinar complexity, was reduced cases, once again lung more affected. present evidence that, 4 6 lungs, volumes predicted from this may be due to loss (airway) units. have discussed controversy about acinus reasons explain this. Hyaline membrane disease often occurs hernia, even at full term. Intra-alveolar hemorrhage is common complication hernia.
