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...
متن کاملRole of endovascular embolization in improving the quality of life in a patient suffering from complicated intralobar pulmonary sequestration – A case report
Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation characterized by the presence of nonfunctional parenchymal lung tissue, receiving systemic arterial blood supply and lacking normal communication with tracheobronchial tree. Recurrent pneumonia and massive hemoptysis are life threatening complications associated with it. Delay in the diagnosis and management can be fatal. We r...

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare malformation that predisposes to recurrent respiratory infections. It is difficult to diagnose unless a more extensive directed investigation (to the vasculature and pulmonary parenchyma) is take on. Failure to diagnose and treat this condition can lead to recurrent pneumonia and fatal hemoptysis. Most cases are diagnosed before the age of 20 years. ...
متن کاملMassive Hemoptysis in a Case of Intralobar Pulmonary Sequestration Associated with Pulmonary Hypoplasia and Meandering Right Pulmonary Vein: Diagnosis and Management
Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital malformation characterized by focal area of dysplastic lung tissue that lacks normal communication with tracheobronchial tree and receives blood supply from systemic arteries. Surgical resection has been the conventional method of treatment of pulmonary sequestration. In recent years transarterial embolization of the anomalous systemic arteries has emerge...
متن کاملEndovascular embolization prior to surgical resection of symptomatic intralobar pulmonary sequestration in an adult.
Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation, conventionally managed by surgical resection. Recently, the endovascular embolization has been proposed for the definite treatment of this disease. Additionally, preoperative embolization of aberrant arteries to minimize the risk of serious intraoperative haemorrhage has also been described. We report the case of 43-year old ...
