This research focuses on lung malformations detected in fetuses during prenatal ultrasound exams. Pathogenic mechanisms of these rare malformations are poorly understood. Improved knowledge is needed, to give families better information, and to better standardize treatment decisions The main goal is to better predict neonatal complications associated with these malformations, by identifying key predictive markers during the fetal period. To achieve this objective, it is planned to include 400 pregnant women with prenatal diagnosis of pulmonary malformation in 45 health centers in France. This is the largest study on this topic at the international level.
