Pulmonary sequestration in infants and children is conventionally treated by resecting the sequestered lung parenchyma (sequestrectomy) or by performing lobectomy through a standard thoracotomy. We performed lobectomy by video-assisted thoracic surgery, using an original tracheal tube that we designed, in a 6-year-old boy with extralobar pulmonary sequestration and bronchiectasis in the left lower lobe.
Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare malformation. Is characterized by non-functioning lung tissue fed from one or several aberrant systemic arteries. Authors present a 5-month-old boy with Hirschsprung disease in whom intralobar sequestration was fortuitously made on the occasion of pneumopathy. Sequestration with associated Hirschsprung disease is exceptional and not reported in the literature.
