Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital bronchopulmonary malformation with an estimated incidence of less than 6%. It is described as the abnormal formation of nonfunctional lung tissue that receives its blood supply from systemic circulation rather than the bronchial tree. Most are unilateral, while a miniscule proportion is bilateral. Delayed diagnosis can result in recurrent pneumonia, failure to thrive, regular hospital visits, morbidity and even fatality. Thus, it is important to raise awareness of this condition. Herein, we present a case of a 42-year-old patient with bilateral pulmonary sequestration (BPS) on a triple rule out CT angiography (TRO-CTA).
