Three cases of intrathoracic hyperechogenic areas on fetal ultrasound are described. Two apparently resolved spontaneously and the infants are alive at 1 year and 7 months, respectively. The third infant was found to have a pulmonary sequestration of the extra-lobar variety which required surgical resection.
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.
