AB Antenatal  ultrasound  and,  increasingly,  fetal  magnetic  resonance  imaging  (MRI)  diagnose  many  congenital  lung  malformations,  but  we  now  have  to  decide  what  to  do  for  a  baby  affected  by  an  abnormality  that  may  previously  have  escaped  detection.  Many  lung  lesions  disappear  or  regress  from  the  second  trimester  to  term,  and  the  outcome  for  such  fetuses  generally  is  good.  Postnatal  regression  of  lung  malformations  also  has  been  described.  The  dilemma  in  the  postnatal  period  is  whether  to  opt  for  observation  or  surgery.
