Abstract

Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of dysplastic lung tissue and an abnormal systemic blood supply. Although pulmonary sequestration may be asymptomatic, many patients suffer from frequent lung infections, cough with sputum and less often hemoptysis. Computed tomography with intravenous contrast should be recommended to patients with this condition for better diagnosis. Surgical resection is a method of choice to achieve better results and reduce the recurrence rate.
We report a case of 32-year-old female with pulmonary sequestration, which was surgically removed by video-assisted thoracic surgery.
