Pulmonary hypoplasia
This photo illustrates bilateral pulmonary hypoplasia. When the heart and lung block is placed on a flat surface it is normal for the most inferior portions of the lungs to be at the level of the cardiac apex. Pulmonary hypoplasia is also evaluated by lung:body weight ratio. Bilateral pulmonary hypoplasia is usually associated with the oligohydramnios sequence. See renal pathology also.
