DIAGNOSIS OF CONGENITAL MALFORMATIONS OF THE BRONCHOPULMONARY SYSTEM IN SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN

The purpose of the scientific study was to analyze the results of imaging studies in school-age children and adolescents with congenital malformations of the lungs. The results of visual studies of 15 children from 7 to 18 years old with congenital malformations of the bronchopulmonary system were analyzed. In 53.3% of patients, an anomaly of underdevelopment of the bronchopulmonary structure in the form of pulmonary hypoplasia was diagnosed late, 20.0% of patients had congenital lobar hyperinflation, 13.3% of children were diagnosed with congenital malformation of the pulmonary airways and 13.3% of tracheal bronchus offset type.

Based on the data obtained, it was concluded that in order to exclude congenital malformations of the bronchopulmonary system in children with recurrent bronchopulmonary diseases that are difficult to treat, it is advisable to conduct a comprehensive visual diagnosis using new MRI methods.
