AI Article Synopsis
- Extralobar pulmonary sequestrations are rare lung abnormalities typically located in the thoracic cavity, but can also occur in the abdomen.
- A unique case involved a 16-month-old boy who had a sequestration located within the diaphragm.
- The study highlights a specific finding on a CT scan that may assist in identifying this unusual condition before surgery.
Article Abstract
Extralobar pulmonary sequestrations are most commonly found within the thoracic cavity, but have been described within the abdomen. We present the case of a 16-month-old boy with an intradiaphragmatic pulmonary sequestration and demonstrate a computed tomographic scan finding that might help identify this extremely rare abnormality preoperatively.

Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare developmental abnormality of the pulmonary system. It is a pulmonary malformation and is defined as lung tissue without connection to the tracheobronchial tree with a systemic blood supply. We present a case of an eight-month-old infant with prenatally diagnosed bronchopulmonary sequestration.

Bronchopulmonary sequestrations (BPSs) are rare congenital anomalies characterized by non-functioning embryonic lung tissue receiving anomalous blood supply. They are most commonly located within the thorax (supradiaphragmatic) or into the abdominal cavity (infradiaphragmatic). Intradiaphragmatic extralobar BPs (IDEPS) are an exceptionally rare finding, representing a diagnostic and operative challenge.

Background: Intradiaphragmatic extralobar pulmonary sequestration (IDEPS) is a rare type of pulmonary sequestration (PS). The purpose of this study is to assess diagnosis and operative treatment of IDEPS.
Methods: Patients with PS who were diagnosed and treated in our center from January 2015 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively to identify patients with IDEPS.

Intradiaphragmatic extralobar pulmonary sequestration (IDEPS) is considered to be very rare among extralobar pulmonary sequestration (EPS), and IDEPS combined with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) with sac is extremely rare. The patient was a neonatal girl. Left-sided CDH with a hernia sac was diagnosed based on computed tomography (CT).
