Abstract

Two cases of congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasis are described in neonates. One case represents an isolated form of the condition. The second example illustrates an association with complex cardiac disease, including total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, and the asplenia syndrome. The radiological features of congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasis are discussed.
