Abstract
Pulmonary hypoplasia is a rare cause of neonatal dyspnea almost always secondary to other conditions. We report an exceedingly rare case of primary unilateral pulmonary hypoplasia. This case illustrates the role of prenatal magnetic resonance imaging when this condition is suspected during the fetal life. Combined with ultrasounds, this imaging modality offers a three-dimensional evaluation of the lungs that can be critical for postnatal medical management.
