Intralobar Pulmonary Sequestration in an Adult: An Unusual Case Report with Brief Review of Literature

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital abnormality of the lower respiratory tract which becomes symptomatic early in life. Clinical presentation may vary from asymptomatic state with incidental diagnosis while imaging to severe catastrophic hemoptysis. Here we report a case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration in a male of 36 years who continued to have hemoptysis for fourteen...

A Patient with Intralobar Pulmonary Sequestration: A Rare Congenital Anomaly

A 51-year-old male patient had a history of recurrent pneumonia since the second decade of life. Interestingly, chest X-rays indicated the same radiological pattern with left lower lobe involvement. A multislice spiral CT scan of the chest was performed and depicted an anomalous arterial vessel emerging from the descending thoracic aorta towards the left lower pulmonary lobe, characterising pul...
