Twelve patients with plain roentgenographic findings of intralobar pulmonary sequestration were evaluated with aortography and, in most instances, pulmonary arteriography. Correlative criteria from aortography and pulmonary arteriography permit a precise diagnosis to be made. Pulmonary infections must be differentiated from intralobar pulmonary sequestration because treatment for the latter should be surgical.

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.

Article Synopsis
  • Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital lung issue where abnormal lung tissue is supplied by a wrong artery, most commonly seen in the intralobar form.
  • Patients often experience symptoms like recurrent coughing up blood and lung infections.
  • Surgical treatment involves carefully removing the affected tissue while protecting healthy lung, with techniques to minimize the risk of bleeding from the abnormal arteries during the procedure.
