Antenatal gastrointestinal anomalies in neonates subsequently found to have alveolar capillary dysplasia

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Alveolar capillary dysplasia ( ACD ) is a rare condition with variable presentation and clinical course. Clinicians should consider this diagnosis in neonates presenting with nonlethal congenital gastrointestinal malformation, a period of well‐being after birth then unremitting hypoxemia and refractory pulmonary hypertension. Lung biopsy and FOXF 1 gene testing may help in diagnosis.
