Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital abnormality which often diagnosed in childhood. There are two types of differentiated by the presence, or lack pleural lining dividing aberrant lung tissue from functional lung. Data for management this pathology adults remains scarce. Here we present case intralobar pulmonary an adult. The patient comprised surgical treatment involving lobectomy and...

BACKGROUND Pulmonary sequestration is a relatively rare condition in which a systemic artery supplies blood to an abnormal lung tissue and the normal connection with the bronchial tree is absent. It can be displayed as various signs on the computed tomography image, but emphysema is extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION We describe the case of a 35-year-old man with intralobar pulmonary sequestra...

Surgical resection in mmspected intralobar sequestration can result in fatal hemorrhagic complications. The roentgen criteria for establishing tbis diagnosis are: 1) chronic and recurrent pulmonary Wtrate; 2) most often located in b a s k segments of the lower lobes; 3) multiple cystic areas; 4) failure of contrast media to enter the cystic area during broncbography. We studied two cases of int...

Extralobar pulmonary sequestrations may be located in intrathoracic or extrathoracic areas. Extrathoracic intradiaphragmatic extralobar pulmonary sequestrations are an extremely rare subset of bronchopulmonary sequestrations and there have been very few reported cases until now. We describe a 48-year-old Korean woman found to have left peridiaphragmatic lesion on computed tomography. We perform...

BACKGROUND Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a lung malformation characterized by nonfunctioning lung tissue without primary communication with the tracheobronchial tree. Intrauterine complications such as mediastinal shift, pleural effusion or fetal hydrothorax can be present. We present the case of a newborn with bilateral intralobar pulmonary sequestration. METHODS Prenatal ultrasonography...

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) play an important role in ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), but the mechanisms of pulmonary PMN recruitment, particularly early intravascular PMN sequestration during VILI, have not been elucidated. We investigated the physiological and molecular mechanisms of pulmonary PMN sequestration in an in vivo mouse model of VILI. Anesthetized C57/BL6 mice were ve...
