This review describes congenital anomalies in the lung’s parenchyma, indicating improved diagnostic accuracy through systematic classification and imaging.
Congenital bronchopulmonary malinosculations encompass a spectrum of disorders characterized by anomalous connections among the three components in the lung-airways, parenchyma, and vessels. This review describes these anomalies using a simplified systematic approach to facilitate understanding and diagnosis. The classification framework, based on the presence or absence of arterial, venous, and bronchial anomalies, organizes malinosculations into seven groups. Cross sectional imaging techniques such as CT angiography plays a critical role in delineating anatomical abnormalities, enabling precise identification of malformed components. This systematic approach aids in identifying and managing these complex congenital anomalies, improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.
