Abstract
Childhood ARDS is mostly caused by pneumonia. Pulmonary pseudocysts are reported in adults recovering from ARDS,
usually in non-dependent lung regions. The authors present a 1.5-year-old boy, who survived severe pulmonary ARDS with
development of pulmonary giant pseudocysts and other structural abnormalities in dependent lung region. To the best of
authors knowledge, it is the first follow up report of pulmonary abnormality in a toddler with ARDS of extreme severity.
