Abstract
Diagnostic ultrasound allows prenatal diagnosis of cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung from the second trimester onwards throughout pregnancy. If the diagnosis is made before the 24th week of pregnancy, counselling often results in termination of pregnancy. Whether or not this attitude is in agreement with good medical practice is discussed on the basis of our own experience and a review of the literature.
