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.

Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation of the lung and occasionally accompanied with upper gastrointestinal anomalies. Based on the embryologic development, they are grouped as broncho-pulmonary foregut malformation. We present one the case of the intralobar pulmonary sequestration with gastric duplication. The sequestrated pulmonary tissue was 9x7x8cm in dimension, multiseptated and multiloculated, and supplied by a systemic artery of 7mm diameter from the abdominal aorta. The gastric duplication was 8cm in diameter located at the posterior wall of the stomach without communication with the gastric lumen.

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.

Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital malformation in which a mass of pulmonary tissue is detached from the normal lung and receives its blood supply from a systemic arterys from the thoracic aorta or the abdominal aorta, or occasionally from an intercostal artery. We have experienced the three cases of the intralobar pulmonary sequestration. In the first case a 5 year old male was admitted of productive cough and abdominal distension, and chest film showed pneumonic infiltration in RLL. Second case was 26 year old male patient complaining Rt. chest discomfort and hemoptysis and chest X-ray revealed infiltration in Rt. LLF. Third case was 26 year old male patient whose complaint was hemoptysis. Chest x-ray showed hazy density in Lt. lower lung field. In the all cases, the aortograms were performed and the confirmed diagnosis was intralobar pulmonary seqeustration.

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.

Pulmonary sequestration occurs when some disturbance produces a cystic mass of nonfunctioning lung tissue which lacks normal communication with the tracheobronchial tree. Between 1971 and 1985, pulmonary sequestration was diagnosed in 11 patients, ranging age from 3 to 29 years. All sequestration were intralobar type. Definitive diagnosis can only be obtained by aortography and/or surgical exploration in 10 cases. The other one was confirmed by pathologic examination postoperatively. The presenting complaints were mostly recurrent local pulmonary infection, but in 2 cases mediastinal mass with respiratory symptoms was presented, and cardiac murmur was only finding in one case. Preoperative diagnostic procedure revealed 3 associated anomalies which were funnel chest, right aortic arch, and pulmonic stenosis with vascular ring. Operative treatment for sequestration was lobectomy in 10 cases, and a segmentectomy in one. There was no operative mortality, but 3 complications [empyema, B-P fistula, post-op bleeding] which were controlled by subsequent operations or conservative measure. Aortography is strongly advocated not only for its diagnostic value, but for its preoperative localization of the aberrant vessels that are the major concern to the surgeon.

Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital anomaly of the lung in which it is separately supplied from the aorta or one of its branches. Bilateral pulmonary sequestration is very rare, particularly in adults. In bilateral pulmonary sequestration, resection of both sides is usually recommended if both sides are infected and symptomatic. We report the case of a 37-year-old female patient with bilateral intralobar pulmonary sequestration treated by staged bilateral lower lobectomy.

Pulmonary sequestration is an unusual congenital malformation characterized by the presence of nonfunctioning lung tissue which usually has no communication with the normal bronchial tree and receives its blood supply from an anomalous systemic artery. Extralobar form is a very rare congenital malformation. We have experienced a 54 year old female patient with a mass in the upper lobe complaining of cough and blood tinged sputum. A triangular shaped mass was located in the left upper lobe, medially. The arterial blood supply were from the thoracic aorta and the pulmonary artery but there was no the tracheobronchial communication. The venous drainage was through the pulmonary vein. The mass was confirmed as extralobar pulmonary sequestration associated with a pericardial defect.

Pulmonary sequestration is a complex anomaly involving the pulmonary parenchymal tissue and its vasculature. It presents as a cystic mass of nonfunctional lung tissue without communication with the tracheobronchial system. Usually, it receives blood supply from anomalous systemic vessels. Therefore, preoperative diagnosis of the pulmonary sequestration is difficult, especially when it is located in the abdomen and combined with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation(CCAM). We encountered such a mass(CCAM type 2) detected prenatally by ultrasonography. It was a kidney bean shaped, pinkish mass straddling the thorax and abdomen on the right side. Because of the sonographic appearance, neuroblastoma was diagnosed preoperatively. The mass was completely extirpated without difficulty.
