Pulmonary sequestration and aspergillosis.

Pulmonary sequestration associated with asymptomatic aspergillosis.

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration associated with asymptomatic aspergillosis is a rare case. We describe the case of a 65-year-old woman with intrapulmonary sequestration, anomalous systemic arterial supply to the left lower lobe and aspergillosis who underwent left lower lobectomy and ligation of an anomalous artery by Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Pathological examination show...

Two Cases of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis in an Iranian Family

SUMMARY Aspergillosis is an infectious disease caused by genus aspergillos species. Aspergilli are ab undant in the environment, they Jive in soil as saprophyte deriving nutrient, from dead plants and animal matters. The genus aspergillos in characterized by the formation of distinctive conidiophores giving rise to conidias which can spread by air and are able to reside on the body surface spe...

Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Ostrich

Neonatological and pulmonological management of bilateral pulmonary sequestration in a neonate.

BACKGROUND Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a lung malformation characterized by nonfunctioning lung tissue without primary communication with the tracheobronchial tree. Intrauterine complications such as mediastinal shift, pleural effusion or fetal hydrothorax can be present. We present the case of a newborn with bilateral intralobar pulmonary sequestration. METHODS Prenatal ultrasonography...

A Patient with Intralobar Pulmonary Sequestration: A Rare Congenital Anomaly

A 51-year-old male patient had a history of recurrent pneumonia since the second decade of life. Interestingly, chest X-rays indicated the same radiological pattern with left lower lobe involvement. A multislice spiral CT scan of the chest was performed and depicted an anomalous arterial vessel emerging from the descending thoracic aorta towards the left lower pulmonary lobe, characterising pul...
