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.

The ability to identify and confidently diagnose a wide range of congenital fetal thoracic lesions has increased tremendously in the past 2 decades with the emergence of high-resolution sonography and ultrafast MRI sequences. Imaging studies constitute a vital component in the diagnosis of these lesions, whether in the fetal, neonatal or childhood periods. In addition to providing a road map for potential intervention, imaging techniques have provided important information about normal development, natural history, and prognosis. In the prenatal stage, these features aid in family counseling, pregnancy management, and the identification of a subgroup of patients who may benefit from fetal intervention. In the neonatal and childhood periods, imaging studies facilitate timely diagnosis and institution of appropriate therapeutic strategies.
