Abstract
Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformation (CPAM) is a rare developmental anomaly of the respiratory system that typically manifests in the pediatric population. This case report documents an unusual presentation of CPAM in a neonate, highlighting the challenges in diagnosis and management. The neonate, a term female infant, presented with respiratory distress shortly after birth. Initial clinical evaluations suggested a range of differential diagnoses, including common respiratory conditions and congenital anomalies. However, further imaging studies, particularly High-Resolution Chest Computed Tomography (HRCT), revealed a rare and unexpected case of CPAM.
