Extralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital pulmonary malformation that may present early in life or remain asymptomatic. Here we present a case of torsion of an extralobar pulmonary sequestration on its vascular pedicle. Although the patient's initial symptomatology suggested intraabdominal pathology, the correct preoperative diagnosis was determined in large part by the lesion's MRI characteristics, which strongly suggested tissue infarction.

Torsion of extralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital anomalous condition that can manifest with various symptoms, including abdominal pain. However, a masslike lesion in the mediastinum can be easily overlooked when the clinician focuses only on abdominal pain. By using magnetic resonance imaging, a few features specific to the torsion of extralobar pulmonary sequestration can be identified, and that information will be helpful.

A 55-year-old woman with no significant medical history or symptoms was incidentally diagnosed with a mediastinal tumor during a routine health checkup. The intraoperative findings of robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery led to the diagnosis of extralobar pulmonary sequestration (EPS), with multiple vessels connecting to the pulmonary artery and superior pulmonary vein. EPS, an extremely rare condition, is typically supplied with blood from the aorta.

Identification of lesion demarcation during thoracoscopic anatomical lesion resection is fundamental for treating children with congenital lung malformation. Existing lesion demarcations do not always meet the needs of clinical practice. This study aimed to explore the safety and efficacy of near-infrared fluorescence imaging with nebulized inhalation of indocyanine green for thoracoscopic anatomical lesion resection in children with congenital lung malformation.

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.
