Abstract

Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital abnormality that can be detected in childhood or adulthood. The clinical presentation often presents as recurrent pneumonia throughout the lifetime of the patient. Pathologically, pulmonary sequestration is a disorganized area of lung parenchyma, with no pulmonary artery supplying blood and no connecting airway. There are two types of distinction: intralobar sequestration and extra lobar sequestration. The vast majority of pulmonary sequestration are supplied with blood from an anomalous vessel originating from the macrovascular system, and very few (rarely) receive blood from the vena cava. CT angiography or angiography using the Catheter method helps to confirm the abnormal vessel, both for diagnosis and for surgical resection. We introduce 10 cases of intralobar pulmonary sequestration, confirmed by CT vascular, operated at the National Lung Hospital, from April 2021 to April 2022 with the hope to have a small summary of the clinical features, subclinical as well as computed tomographic features of this disease. Thereby doctors can refer, from which to have a better diagnostic approach when encountering similar cases.
