    Journal: Prenat Diagn; 2006 Nov; 26(11):1058-61. PubMed ID: 16941717.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Case report and literature review for congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasis (CPL) CASE REPORT: Male fetus with bilateral pleural effusion, thoracoamniotic shunt, preterm delivery, and prolonged neonatal course with neonatal death at 3 months. Autopsy-identified CPL. DISCUSSION: Review of pathology, clinical course, and genetics of CPL. CONCLUSION: This postnatal diagnosis of CPL/Hennekam syndrome must be considered with prenatal counseling regarding a fetus with bilateral pleural effusions. This pathological entity is autosomal recessive and has a significant risk of lethality.
