Extralobar pulmonary sequestration.

Abstract

A neonate presenting with a density of the right mid-thorax was found, at thoracotomy, to have an extralobar pulmonary sequestration. The sequestration was resected, and the infant made an uneventful recovery. The morphogenesis, diagnosis, and management of this uncommon lesion are discussed.

Diagnosis of intralobar lung sequestration by colour-coded Doppler sonography.

Intralobar lung sequestration in a 5-month-old dyspnoeic infant was diagnosed by colour-coded Doppler sonography (CDS). Grey scale imaging showed an echogenic mass adjacent to the right hemidiaphragm. CDS demonstrated an abnormal arterial blood supply via a vessel originating from the descending aorta at the level of the diaphragm.
