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. At six months of age, an extralobar sequestration with a feeding vessel from truncus coeliacus and venous drainage to vena thoracica interna sinistra was diagnosed from a CT scan of the lung. Thoracoscopy was performed with the identification of intradiaphragmatic sequestration, conversion to thoracotomy with resection of the lesion, and repair of the diaphragm. Postoperative follow-up revealed no complications. Intradiaphragmatic bronchopulmonary sequestration is an extremely rare congenital anomaly. The gold standard for diagnostic clarification is computed tomography. The preferred approach for surgical treatment is transthoracic.

Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital anomaly, characterized by aberrant lung tissue supplied by an aberrant systemic artery or arteries coursing within the inferior pulmonary ligament. The intralobar variety is the most frequent form. Clinical presentation may include recurrent haemoptysis and infection.

Many institutions perform thoracoscopic surgery for pediatric extrapulmonary sequestration (EPS). This approach achieves good cosmetic outcomes due to the small skin incision in comparison to open surgery. However, an extension or additional incision is sometimes necessary to extract resected specimens from the thoracic cavity, which reduces the advantages of this procedure.

Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital malformation where abnormal lung tissue lacks a connection to the airways and receives blood supply from systemic arteries. This case report describes a 30-year-old man with recurrent hemoptysis diagnosed with intralobar PS (ILS) as the cause. He underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery to clip and section the aberrant artery, resulting in a successful outcome with no further bleeding.

Aim Of The Study: Patients with congenital lung malformation (CLM) may present pulmonary inflammatory changes. However, little is known about the factors influencing local inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors that may affect inflammatory changes in CLM.
