Strangulation of aberrant artery in extralobar pulmonary sequestration on video imaging.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of an 18-year old female patient with symptomatic extralobar pulmonary sequestration. The initial symptom was sudden-onset right lateral abdominal pain. Enhanced computed tomography showed a 5 cm in diameter, spindle-shaped mass located in the costophrenic sinus with no aberrant artery. Exploratory thoracoscopy showed a haemorrhagic mass caused by strangulation of an aberrant vessel originating from the intercostal artery. Pathological findings revealed pulmonary sequestration with haemorrhagic infarction. The strangulated aberrant artery was clearly demonstrated by video imaging.

Prevalence of pulmonary sequestration accounts for up to 6.4% of all congenital pulmonary malformations. We report on a 40-year-old woman who underwent excision of an aberrant solid retroperitoneal mass in the left subdiaphragmatic area. The mass was identified to be an extralobar pulmonary sequestration. The diagnosis could be made without surgery by percutaneous tissue biopsy and imaging. We ...

OBJECTIVE Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation and may be the cause of recurrent infections or hemoptysis. It has been shown in case reports that resection by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is feasible despite the possible technical difficulties due to inflammatory changes, but its role has not been evaluated yet in a larger series of consecutively treated patients....
متن کاملVideo-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy in the treatment of intralobar pulmonary sequestration.
Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital malformation characterised by cystic, non-functioning embryonic lung tissue with vascularisation of an abnormal systemic artery. They are classified as intralobar (75%) and extralobar (25%) and are more common in the left lung and lower lobes (60-90%). We report two cases of intralobar pulmonary sequestration located in the lower lobe of the left lung whi...
