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.
