Hyderabad: 11-month baby with cyst in lung saved by SLG doctors

Hyderabad: Doctors at SLG Hospitals saved the life of a 11-month-old boy suffering with a large cyst in the left lung. The cyst, which was 6 cm in size, made it difficult for the toddler to breathe.

Known as congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) or congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM), this cyst (non-cancerous) in the lung is formed while the child is in the womb. In most cases, babies do well and have normal lungs, as the growth of the cyst usually starts to slow down in the second trimester.

Dr Vivek Babu Bojjawar, Lead Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon, SLG Hospitals said, “The boy was presented at the hospital on August 12 with difficulty in breathing and feeding, and prenatal ultrasound revealed presence of large balloon like cyst replacing one half of the left lung. It was noticed that the cyst was expanding rapidly and would lead to further difficulty in breathing. CT scan further revealed that the large balloon-like air filled cavity in the lower half of the left lung led to compression of the rest of the lung.”

A surgery was performed to remove the cyst and the child was subsequently kept under constant observation before he was discharged on August 16, added Dr. Aravind kumar, Consultant Pediatrician, SLG Hospitals.
