Published: June 1996

The authors present the case of a young male with massive haemothorax caused by intralobar bronchopulmonary sequestration. Angiography is necessary for the exact diagnosis of bronchopulmonary sequestration. The most common site of intrapulmonary type sequestration is the left lower lobe of the lung. In this case the aberrant artery was originated from the abdominal aorta. During thoracotomy after ligature of the aberrant vessels S5,S10 segmentectomy was performed. The authors emphasize that the rare cause of rapid anaemia in consequence of haemothorax could be intralobar bronchopulmonary sequestration.

Bronchopulmonary sequestration is an uncommon abnormality of the respiratory system that often manifests as recurrent pneumonia in childhood or as an incidental discovery on thoracic imaging in adults. The sequestration receives its blood supply from anomalous systemic circulation in contrast to pulmonary circulation and can manifest in either intrapulmonary or extrapulmonary forms. We discuss the instance of a young asymptomatic man who visited us seeking for medical clearance to travel abroad.

Extensive congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) of the left fetal lung and associated marked dextroposition of the fetal heart were noted at 21 weeks' gestation. The right fetal lung appeared compressed with the cardiomediastinal shift angle measuring approximately 20 degrees. Potential subsequent right pulmonary hypoplasia was considered.

Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital malformation that is characterized by the absence of a connection between a portion of the lung tissue and the tracheobronchial tree, with blood supply from arteries throughout the body. Abnormal lung tissue cannot perform the normal gas exchange function. In the absence of timely diagnosis and early intervention, some cases may need labor induction, and some of the infants who survive may develop symptoms in childhood.

Cystic cuboid adenomatous malformations (CCAM) are congenital pulmonary lesions, usually benign, that can progress into malignancy. Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is another type of malformation that consistsof an ectopic pulmonary tissue mass that doesn't participate in blood-gas exchanges, with vascularization provided by anomalous branches of the thoracic aorta. Hybrid lesions are lesions that have histological features of CCAM but with systemic vascularization, a pathognomonic sign of BPS.

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.
