Abstract |
Pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon congenital malformation charcterized by the presence of
nonfunctioning lung tissue which usually has no communciation with the normal bronchial tree and
which receives it's blood supply from an anomalous systemic artery instead of pulmonary arterial
branch.
We have experienced a case of pulmonary sequestration.
The patient was 5 10/12 years old girl with the complaint of fever, cough, Chest films showed round
increased density with air fluid level on right lower and mid lung field.
The diagnosis of intralobar pulmonary sequestration on the superior segment of right lower lobe
was made by aortography which demonstrated tortuous aberrrant arteries from the 5th, 6th, 7th, right
intercostal arteries.
Abnomal pulmonary tissue Was resected without complication. |
