BACKGROUND: The mediastinal shift angle is a new fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) index that is reportedly correlated with postnatal survival in fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia. However, its correlation in patients with congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) has not been assessed. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to establish a normal range for the right/left mediastinal shift angles, to evaluate the mediastinal shift angle in fetuses with CPAM, to compare the mediastinal shift angle with the CPAM volume ratio, and to evaluate the predictive value of the mediastinal shift angle measurements...
