Abstract
Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformation (CPAM) is a congenital lung disease that
can be present from prenatal to childhood. The overall incidence of CPAM is reported to
be 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 35,000 births, making it the most common type of congenital lung
lesion. This malformation results from the interruption of lung development during various
stages of embryogenesis. This case report aims to illustrate the disease through ultrasound
imaging, emphasize its characteristics, and discuss parental counseling and decision-making
regarding the continuation of pregnancy. It is important to highlight the limitations of prenatal
diagnostic precision in developing countries and the need for additional diagnostic tools to
improve parental decision-making options
