Congenital Lung Anomalies (CLA) Swiss Database

Congenital lung anomalies include different pathologies such as congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation, pulmonary sequestration, bronchial atresia, emphysema, bronchogenic cyst. They concern less than 1/10000 births and their physiopathological origin is still poorly understood. The main goal of this project is to pool the cases from different swiss centers on a prospective cohort study, first to increase knowledge of clinical and radiological evolution and their correlation with histological data, and second to analyse the pathological embryological mechanism underlying these malformations.
