been reported in some cases of congenital heart disease, congenital lung diseases such as bronchopulmonary sequestration and hypogenetic lung syndrome, and in apparently normal heart and lung (1, 2). The latter has been described as the rarest form of the condition (3). The basal segments of the left lower lobe are most frequently involved, and this anomaly is therefore referred to as the syste...

TYPE: Case Report TOPIC: Chest Infections INTRODUCTION: Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is a rare congenital malformation of the lower respiratory tract; it consists nonfunctioning mass lung tissue that irrigated by an anomalous systemic artery. The association with Actinomyces superinfection has not been well established. CASE PRESENTATION: We present case 35-year-old woman history recurr...

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...

Pulmonary sequestration refers to lack of normal airway connection and aberrant vascular supply, and it may be either intralobar or extralobar. Bronchial atresia involving the lower lobes, especially the left lower lobe, is often associated with aberrant systemic arterial connection, forming an “intralobar sequestration” in which a region of parenchyma is functionally isolated from the remainde...

Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital lung malformation that more commonly occurs in the left lung, mainly near the lower mediastinum. It is rarely observed in patients with extralobar sequestration in adulthood. We report the case of a 55-year-old man with recurrent fever and cough lasting for about 1 month, who was admitted to our hospital. His past history was unremarkable. The final ...
