A 50-year-old woman presented with acute hemoptysis, dyspnea, and fatigue. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed an intralobar pulmonary sequestration of the right lower lobe with an aberrant artery arising from the celiac trunk (Fig. 1). A robotic right lower lobectomywas performed with an uneventful postoperative course (Fig. 2(A) and (B)). www.elsevier.com/locate/ejcts European Journal of Ca...

Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare malformation consisting of aberrant lung tissue which is not affiliated with the normal bronchial system and is fed by an aberrant artery that derives from systemic arteries. However, PS is usually seen unilaterally but, only rarely, it is bilateral. Most patients with PS are diagnosed because of symptoms due to pulmonary infection or cardiac disease, whil...

The sequestration within the lung of a mass of abnormal pulmonary tissue, the blood supply to which is systemic and not pulmonary, is an uncommon but clinically recognizable entity. The clinical and pathological features are reproduced from case to case with remarkable consistency, and it is important to recognize the condition because it produces symptoms, is amenable to surgical correction, a...

14 cases of intralobar sequestration of the lung are reviewed. There are 3 different patterns of clinical and radiological symptoms. Angiography is of great value in establishing the diagnosis and defining the anatomic details of the anomalous blood supply, allowing careful planning of the surgical procedure, which was a lower lobectomy in 12 cases. Segmental resections were feasible in 2 cases...

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare malformation that predisposes to recurrent respiratory infections. It is difficult to diagnose unless a more extensive directed investigation (to the vasculature and pulmonary parenchyma) is take on. Failure to diagnose and treat this condition can lead to recurrent pneumonia and fatal hemoptysis. Most cases are diagnosed before the age of 20 years. ...

Three cases of pulmonary sequestration evaluated by bolus dynamic computed tomography are described. The computed tomography appearance and the differential diagnosis are discussed. It is important to recognize the advantages of the bolus dynamic technique in the evaluation of pulmonary sequestration as it may eliminate the need for further studies.

Intra pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital disorder that is characterized by malformation of pulmonary tissue having no connection to normal tracheobronchial tree and pulmonary arteries. This is a case history of 20 years old man initially misdiagnosed as Tuberculosis and later diagnosis of intra-lobar pulmonary sequestration was confirmed. There are few reports of this rare disorder gl...

Congenital lung abnormalities are relatively rare but very dangerous for the fetus and neonate. This article describes the most common pulmonary complications observed during pregnancy such as congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation, diaphragmatic hernia, bronchopulmonary sequestration, hydrothorax, chylothorax, lung agenesia, pulmonary hypoplasia. The diagnostic methods and available therap...

Bronchopulmonary sequestration represents a spectrum of abnormalities. One of these abnormalities is an aberrant systemic arterial supply to a normal lung with no bronchial sequestration. These lesions were originally classified by Pryce as type 1. Most of these patients are asymptomatic but with time, many patients develop localized pulmonary hypertension, hemoptysis, and eventually high outpu...
