Backgrounds: Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is a rare congenital anomaly of the lung that has two different types as intralobar and extralobar. In this study, we aimed to present six cases of intralobar sequestration with atypical findings in terms of feeding, drainage and, localization. Methods: Patients diagnosed with intralobar pulmonary sequestration in our clinic between 2015-2019 were evaluated retrospectively. Demographical features and atypical Computed Tomography (CT) findings of the patients were presented by literature. Results: Among 45 patients with intralobar sequestration, six ones (13.3%) (5 males and 1 female) with a mean age of 43.5±25.4 (0-78) years old) had atypical pulmonary findings on CT images. Atypical features regarding arterial supply was detected in 8.9%, venous drainage in 2.2%, location in 4.4%, radiological appearance ın 4.4% and co-existing lesion in 2.2% of the patient with intralobar sequestration. Conclusion: Typical and atypical features of pulmonary sequestration must be well-known for differential diagnosis of solid or cystic pulmonary lesions.
Trakea ya da ana bronşlardan köken alan dallanma anomalileri nadirdir. Trakeal bronş da bu anomalilerden biridir. Genellikle semptomsuzdur. Tanı genellikle başka nedenle çekilen bilgisayarlı tomografi veya bronkoskopi ile konur. Bronşial anatominin radyolog tarafından tanınıp ortaya konması olası girişimsel işlemlere rehberlik yapması açısından önemlidir. Biz de trakeal bronş tanısı alan olgumuzu nadir görülmesi nedeniyle, bigisayarlı tomografi bulguları ile beraber, literatür eşliğinde sunmayı amaçladık.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
