Abstract

Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital lesion in which a system artery supplies a cystic portion of the lung in which its bronchus usually does not communicate with the remainder of the bronchial tree. There are two types of sequestration recognized. lntralobar pulmonary sequestration recognized. lntralobar pulmonary sequestration is usually contained within the visceral pleura of the pulmonary venous system. Extralobar pulmonary sequestration is usually within a pleural sheath of its own and the venous drainage is to the azygos hemiazygos system. We experienced a case of pulmonary sequestration preoperatively confirm chest film showed a large mass lesion at the left lower posterior basal lung field. Aortagram confirmed an aberrant artery originated from thoracic aorta just above the diaphragm and drained via pulmonary vein into the left atrium. At time of operation, a large abscess cavity measuring 12 x 8 x 7 cm in dimension at the left lower lobe was noted. Aberrant artery, measuring 0.5 cm in diameter and 2 cm in length, arising from thoracic aorta just above the diaphragm was noted. A case of pulmonary sequestration was reported with the review of the literature.
