Pulmonary Sequestration with Tuberculosis Confined to the Sequestrated Lung

Pulmonary sequestration with tuberculosis confined to the sequestrated lung.

Pulmonary sequestration is a relatively rare malformation. The incidence of common pyogenic infection in this anomaly is very high. We describe a non-symptomatic, 19-year-old man who was misdiagnosed with left lower lobe pneumonia, which was treated with antibiotics for nearly one month. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) with multiplanar reconstruction showed an aberrant artery origina...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Extralobar pulmonary sequestration with hemothorax secondary to pulmonary infarction.

Pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon condition that accounts for 0.5-6% of all pulmonary malformations and is typically diagnosed in childhood. Of the two forms of pulmonary sequestration, intralobar and extralobar, the latter is less frequently encountered. The current report describes the case of a 32-year-old female patient with chest and abdominal pain. Imaging (chest X-rays and CT scans ...

A Sequestrated Lung Presenting as Lung Abscess- A Rare Case

Introduction: Intralobar pulmonary sequestration [ILS] is overall the most common form of Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) commonly presenting as consolidation in the lower lung lobes. Methods: A young male (23 years) presented with hemoptysis and a large cavity with air fluid level in the left lower lung lobe for 6-7 years. Computed Tomography of chest and bronchoscopy were inconclusive an...
