Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital anomaly of lung parenchyma that can be definitively treated only with surgical resection. We report a case of an intralobar sequestration of the right lower pulmonary lobe in an infant successfully treated with video-thoracoscopic surgical removal of the involved lobe at 6 months of age.
A forty-eight-year-old man with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis and scarring of both hila and upper lobes was noted to have bilateral pulmonary pseudosequestration, in which the blood supply originated from a coronary artery fistulous vessel arising from the left circumflex artery and draining into the pulmonary artery. This is the first reported patient with the source of blood supply to the pulmonary pseudosequestration arising from a coronary artery fistula.
Pulmonary extralobar sequestration is a rare anomaly, usually diagnosed during the first months of life. A case of extralobar pulmonary sequestration in an adult, manifesting itself as massive hemothorax, is presented.
