Pulmonary Sequestration a Challenge for the Pediatric Surgeon. Case report

Abstract

Pulmonary sequestration refers to the situation where a part of the lung tissue receives its blood supply from an anomalous systemic artery. There are three main variants: intralobar, extralobar, and communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformations. Venous drainage typically occurs through a systemic vein, although drainage into pulmonary veins is well-documented. Pulmonary sequestrations are the second most common congenital pulmonary anomaly.
