ABSTRACT
Pulmonary hypoplasia is a rare congenital disorder, with an estimated
incidence of 1 in 15,000 live births, and is associated with other congenital
disorders. Most patients described in the literature are newborns
and infants. This paper reports the case of a 35-year-old woman with
pulmonary hypoplasia.
