Abstract：Objective To investigate the clinical value and prognosis of fetal thoracic space occupying lesions by prenatal ultrasound diagnosis. Methods From January 2012 to November 2016, routine prenatal ultrasound screening for suspected fetal pleural ultrasonography with 45 fetuses for further system lesions, focus on the observation of the fetal thorax occupying source, lesion site, lesion echo characteristics and blood supply, and observe whether fetal edema and other structural abnormalities existed. The initial detection for 20-35 weeks of gestation, pregnant women aged 22-42 years. Results Forty-five fetal pleural lesions in 13 fetuses (13/45, 28.90％) for congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM), 10 fetuses (10/45, 22.22％) for pulmonary sequestration (PS), 11 fetuses (11/45, 24.44％) for congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), 10 (10/ 45, 22.22％) for fetal pleural effusion (PE), and 1 (1/45, 2.22％) for fetal cardiac tumors. Fetal pleural lesions usually occurred on the left side, 7 fetuses PS and 5 fetuses PE lesions gradually shrink or disappear with the increase of gestational age, CDH combined with other structural and chromosomal abnormalities, and induction of CCAM was born in half, a total of 5 fetuses chromosomal abnormalities (5/45, 11.11％) screened. Conclusion Prenatal color doppler ultrasonography is of great value in the diagnosis of fetal space occupying lesions and evaluation of prognosis.
