background the most common space occupying lesions of the fetal thorax are congenital diaphragmatic hernia (cdh), congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (ccam), and bronchopulmonary sequestration (bps). although applications of prenatal mri have been vastly improved in the recent years, its use in the assessment of space occupying lesions of the fetal chest differs among centers. objectives...

Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a relatively rare medical condition wherein a mass of nonfunctioning primitive lung tissue does not communicate with the tracheobronchial tree and receives its blood supply from an anomalous systemic artery.1-6 It usually manifests at younger ages and is rare in adults. Its clinical presentation varies in adulthood.1-3 We report the case of a young male adult w...

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) and bronchopulmonary sequestration are congenital lung lesions. They are classified as separate entities. Each of them has distinct embryology, pathology, and natural history. However there are some commonalities between them. CCAM may have a pulmonary artery supply, or be supplied like a sequestration from the aorta, and histological features o...

background congenital pulmonary lesions may be diagnosed through ultrasonographic screenings or be revealed as causes of respiratory distress in the neonatal period and infancy. less commonly, they are detected as incidental features. objectives our study represents the diversity of congenital pulmonary lesions and their characteristics during an 11-year period in a referral teaching children’s...

Pulmonary sequestration (PMS) is a rare bronchopulmonary malformation. It has an incidence of between 0.15% to 1.7%. Likewise, cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is another relatively rare category of a bronchopulmonary malformation with a reported incidence of between 1 in 25,000 to 1 in 35,000. Moreover, a bronchopulmonary malformation with features allied to both of these forms is consid...

The cases of a mother and infant son are reported, both with a rare type of pulmonary sequestration where the arterial supply to the lung arises from the systemic circulation. This is a familial case of arterial sequestration. In both patients, the lung parenchyma was radiologically normal.

We report a case of a 60-year-old female who was known to have intralobar pulmonary sequestration and her only symptom was chronic cough. She had no history of infections and surgical resection led to complete resolution of her chronic cough.

Congenital lung lesions that can be diagnosed on the basis of prenatal sonography include cystic adenomatoid malformations and extrapulmonary bronchopulmonary sequestrations. Intralobar bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation of the lung. The prenatal sonographic features of this condition are reported here.

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a relatively rare congenital anomaly. The commonest clinical presentation is with chronic cough, expectoration and recurrent attacks of pneumonia. An unusual presentation with a psoas abscess is reported.
