(
A
) After birth, the thoracic dressing placed at the exit site of the displaced thoraco-amniotic shunt started to inflate, hinting an open connection to the airways. (
B
) Computed tomography (CT) scan and (
C
) three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction performed at birth: multiple residual cystic lesions (
highlighted in green
in the 3D reconstruction) and severe left mediastinal shift.

Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction allowed us to better define the lesion's features ( Fig. 1B, C ).

(
A
) The pleural cavity is occupied by multiple pleural adhesions, probably a consequence of the prenatal thoraco-amniotic shunt (TAS) positioning. (
B
) The inferior lobe is completely replaced by multiple giant cysts. (
C
) The middle and superior lobes, even if compressed and with atelectasis areas, appear macroscopically unaffected.

The inferior lobe was completely replaced by multiple giant cysts ( Fig. 2B ), while the middle and superior lobes appeared macroscopically unaffected ( Fig. 2C ). The bigger cysts were decompressed with the 3-mm JustRight sealer (Bolder
