Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pulmonary hypoplasia, a condition characterized by underdeveloped lungs, is commonly associated with conditions that limit intrauterine space or decrease amniotic fluid, both crucial for lung development. Renal agenesis and posterior urethral valve syndrome can lead to oligohydramnios, a decrease in amniotic fluid that can restrict lung growth. Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) can also result in oligohydramnios. Macrosomia, which refers to a newborn with an excessive birth weight, is not directly linked to pulmonary hypoplasia and does not typically result in conditions that would limit lung growth.
