3. Lababidi Z, Dyke PC, Angiographic demonstration of spontaneous occlusion of systemic arterial supply in pulmonary sequestration. Pediatr Cardiol 2003; 24: 406-408. tion. Communication through the Pores of Kohn leading to partial aeration of the sequestration was responsible for the partial aeration seen after bronchoscopy. Srikanth, et al.(2) reviewed 57 cases and reported that bilateral com...

Anomalous systemic arterial supply to the normal basal segments of the lower lobe of the lung without sequestration is a rare congenital abnormality. Whether the condition belongs to the broad spectrum of sequestration disorders remains controversial. This report is of a patient with anomalous systemic arterial supply to the normal basal segments of the left lower lobe, together with an attenua...

In addition to the lung tissue formed from the ventral pharyngeal diverticulum which represents the normal lung bud, pulmonary tissue may be formed from any part of the primitive foregut, and at birth is usually found lying in the left lower region of the pleural cavity; to this condition the name of lower accessory lung or extralobar sequestration is given. Such tissue should be distinguished ...

We report a case of bronchopulmonary sequestration with secondary abscess formation that resulted in lower lobectomy the right lung. A 32-year-old female productive cough and recurrent pneumonia was found to have large complex intrapulmonary lobe an infected pulmonary sequestration. She placed on antibiotics, underwent chest tube placement for drainage abscess, subsequently, she had lobectomy. ...

Two adult patients were diagnosed with extralobar and intralobar pulmonary sequestration. One patient presented with haemoptysis. Both patients suffered from recurrent episodes of severe pulmonary infections. Both patients were treated by means of endovascular embolization using Amplatzer(®) vascular plugs (AVPs). They were discharged from hospital after 48 and 24 h and then followed up for 24 ...

The article describes a successful clinical outcome in the case of 5-month old female with diagnosis incomplete vascular ring aberrant right subclavian artery and ostium secundum atrial septal defect associated partial anomalous pulmonary venous return scimitar syndrome type, coexisting sequestration. During hospitalization, surgical correction heart resection lung sequestration were performed....

Congenital lung abnormalities are relatively rare but very dangerous for the fetus and neonate. This article describes the most common pulmonary complications observed during pregnancy such as congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation, diaphragmatic hernia, bronchopulmonary sequestration, hydrothorax, chylothorax, lung agenesia, pulmonary hypoplasia. The diagnostic methods and available therap...
