Conclusion:
Giant CLAA is an extremely rare defect with potential lethal
complications and significant morbidity. Early surgical management is
mandatory to prevent devastating complications, and it is lifesaving in
neonates presenting early in life with severe respiratory distress
symptoms. Surgery for CLAA is safe, uncomplicated with complete
regression of the symptoms even in neonates.
