Abstract

Pulmonary sequestration is a disease characterized by nonfunctioning lung tissue having anomalous blood supply stemming from the systemic artery. Two forms of pulmonary sequestration occur: intralobar sequestration which shares a common covering of visceral pleural and extralobar sequestration which has its own pleural investment. Clinical manifestations vary from no symptoms to dyspnea, chest pain, hemoptysis, intrapleural hemorrhage and reccurent pulmonary infection. We present a case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration. The patient was 31 year- old male with complaints of fever, cough and purulent sputum. Chest film showed multiple cavitary lesions which had air-fluid levels. We confirmed intralobar sequestration by aortogram and performed lobectomy.
