Abstract

A pulmonary sequestration is a rare developmental pulmonary anomaly of unknown origin. A segment of pulmonary parenchyma does not communicate with the tracheobronchial tree and has anomalous circulation. A two-year-old female child with leftside pulmonary sequestration is presented. According to the MSCT, it could presumably be a extralobar pulmonary sequestration, although possible arteriovenous anomaly could not be excluded. Since it was an asymptomatic anomaly, the parents did not consent to the recommended surgical procedure.
