Abnormalities of ventral foregut budding have been classified as "Bronchopulmonary Foregut Malformation[BPFM]". Two cases of this unusual malformation are presented. The first case was that of a 48-year-old male with a history of hemoptysis and fever. He had intralobar sequestration, located in the right lower lobe and the posterior segment of the right upper lobe, communicated with the lower esophageal fistula. The sequestrated lobe received its blood supply from anormalous feeding artery from the descending thoracic aorta. The second case was that of a 42-year-old woman with intralobar sequestration that communicated with the lower esophagus. The intralobar sequestration was located in the superior segment of the right lower lobe, and in this case, the abnormal feeding artery could not be found. In both cases, there were no other combined congenital anomalies. They were managed with surgical resection successfully and followed up without any significant complications.lications.

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation characterized by a cystic portion of the lung that derives its arterial blood supply through aberrant vessel directly of systemic circulation. Intralobar pulmonary sequestration Is usually contained within the visceral pleura of a pulmonary lobe and its venous drainage to the pulmonary venous system. We experienced a case of pulmonary sequestration preoperatively confirmed. The patient was 17 year old female whose complaints were mild fever and profuse purulent sputum. Chest film showed a large thin walled cystic lesion with air-fluid level at the left lower posterior basal lung field. Aortogram revealed an aberrant artery originated from thoracic aorta just above the diaphragm and that drained via pulmonary vein into the left atrium. At time of operation, a large abscess cavity measuring 9x8x3 cm in dimension at the left lower lobe was noted. And the aberrant artery, measuring 0.5 cm in diameter and 2 cm in length, arising from thoracic aorta just above the diaphragm was noted. After division and ligation of the aberrant artery, a left lower lobectomy was performed and the patient`s postoperative course was uneventful.

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is rare congenital lung disease characterized by a cystic portion of the lung that derives its arterial blood supply though aberrant vessel directly of systemic circulation. Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is usually contained within the visceral pleura of a pulmonary lobe and its venous drainage to the pulmonary venous system. We experienced a case of pulmonary sequestration postoperatively confirmed. The patient was 48-year-old female whose complaints were cough and left chest pain. Chest film showed large homogenous opacity in left lower lung field. By operation, adult fist sized mass at the lower lobe were noted. An aberrant artery, measuring 1.0 cm. in diameter and 2.0 cm. in length, arose from the descending thoracic aorta just above the diaphragm. The anomalous systemic artery was ligatures and resection, and associated with left middle, lower bilobectomy was done. The postoperative course was uneventful, and 10 days later discharged.

The pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of nonfunctioning lung tissue supplied by aberrant artery from the aorta or its branches and usually has no communication with the normal bronchial tree. The patient was 35 year old female and had no specific complaints. The lung mass was found incidentally and was continned to be intralobar pulmonary sequestration by aotography whitch showed aberrant blood supply from thoracic aorta at the T. vertebra level. The right lower lobectomy was done.

We experienced a case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration preoperatively confirmed. The 10 years old male patient was admitted beacuse of recurrent episode of coughing and production of purulent sputum. the chest X-ray showed a dense mass containing a large cyst with air-fiuid level in right lower lung field. An aortogram was performed and revealed that the sequestrated portion of the RLL was supplied by an aberrant large artery arising directly from the lower thoracic aorta. After division and ligation of the aberrant artery in pulmonary ligament, the right lower lobectomy was performed and the patient`s postoperative course was uneventful.

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital lung anomaly. It is defined as a portion of nonfunctioning lung parenchyma that receives its blood supply from an anomalous systemic artery. Patients often present with chronic or recurrent pneumonia. A chest radiograph may show a cystic lesion with air-fluid levels in the lung base. A high index of suspicion is needed for a diagnosis. Surgical removal of a symptomatic intralobar pulmonary sequestration is generally the treatment of choice. Identifying the aberrant artery is a difficult problem when resecting a pulmonary sequestration. The thoracic and abdominal aortas are the most common origins for the abnormal blood supply. However, arterial supply from the celiac artery is quite rare. We present a case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration with the blood supply originating from the celiac artery.

폐 분리증은 비교적 드문 기형적 폐 질환이다. 이 질환에서 일반적인 화농성균의 폐 감염은 흔한 합병증일 수 있다. 저자들은 내엽성 폐분리증의 폐에 국한된 결핵 균의 감염 1예를 치험하고 보고한다. 내원 3년 전에 기관지 확장증으로 진단받은 40세의 남자 환자가 반복되는 소량의 객혈을 주소로 내원하였다. 흉부 CT 촬영상 좌하엽의 염증을 동반한 기관지 확장증 소견과 흉부 대동맥에서 기시되는 커다란 영양동맥이 발견되었다. 환자는 개흉술을 통한 좌하엽 절제술을 받았고 최종 병리학적 검사상 폐분리증의 폐에 국한된 결핵감염이 확인되었다. 수술 후 7일째부터 환자에게 항 결핵요법을 시작하였고 퇴원 후 외래에서 추적 관찰 중이다.

Pulmonary sequestration is the part of a spectrum of bronchopulmonary foregut anomalies in which a portion of lung parenchyma does not communicate with the tracheobronchial tree and usually receives its arterial supply from a systemic vessel. The sequestrated portion of the lung is susceptible to infection. The patient with this entity will have a paucity of symptoms and will present himself for treatment because of a persistent pneumonia. The associated aberrant systemic artery makes the preoperative diagnosis of the lesion imperative because of the life-threatening technical hazards posed by this artery. We experienced a case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration. Initially, the diagnosis of sequestration was unsuspected and open thoracotomy was done for management of homogenous cystic mass on left lower lobe, but one anomalous systemic artery from thoracic descending aorta to sequestrated lung was incidentally revealed. Then we underwent lower lobectomy and ligation of anomalous artery.

Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a congenital malformation characterized by a cystic portion of the lung that derives its arterial blood supply through anomalous aberrant vessel directly of the systemic circulation. An aberrant systemic vessel supplying the lung was reported by Huber in 1777. Although this lesion is uncommon disorder, there are several reports on operative death caused by exanguinating hemorrhage from the aberrant arteries to the bronchopulmonary sequestration to that it has received a great deal of attention. Two type of bronchopulmonary sequestration have been identified: Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is usually contained within the visceral pleura of a pulmonary lobe and its venous drainage to the pulmonary venous system. Extrapulmonary sequestration is usually within the pleural sheath its own and its vasculature drains into the azygos or hemiazygos system. we presented one case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration which led to motor paralysis, chylothorax and hemorrhage that are consequent on postoperative complication.

Pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon congenital malformation characterized by the presence of non-functioning lung tissues which receives its blood supply from an anomalous systemic artery instead of a pulmonary arterial branch. We present a case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration experienced lately. The patient was 7 years old girl with the complaints of chronic productive cough and right lower chest pain. Serial chest films showed a large cyst with or without a air-fluid level on the right lower lung field. Aortography revealed an aberrant artery originating from thoracic aorta just above the diaphragm and that drained into the right inferior pulmonary vein. During operation, a large abscess cavity measuring 6.5x5x5 cm in dimension at the right lower lobe was noted. And the two aberrant arteries, measuring 3 mm in diameter, arising from thoracic aorta 5 cm above the diaphragm was noted. After division and ligation of the aberrant arteries, right lower lobectomy was performed and the patient`s postoperative course was uneventful.
