“…Pulmonary sequestration is seen 4 – 6 times more in the left than the right system. 3,6 In our 8 cases, only 2 of them had pulmonary sequestration in their right systems and the rest had left sided pulmonary sequestration. Pulmonary sequestration generally reveals as a single cyst having air-fluid level or multicystic lesions and sometimes as a noncystic mass on chest X-Ray.…”

Pulmonary sequestration is nonfunctioning, abnormal pulmonary tissue existing inside or outside the visceral pleura. It is not connected to the tracheobronchial tree. In this study, the results of 8 patients, who were diagnosed with pulmonary sequestration and treated during hospitalization in Gülhane Military Medical Academy between 1996 and 2003, were reported. Sex, age, symptoms, diagnostic approach, operative findings, procedures and postoperative outcomes were reviewed. No postoperative complications were seen. In the long-term follow-up all patients were seen to be asymptomatic. We believe surgical resection is mandatory in order to avoid infection and destruction of the normal pulmonary parenchyma even in asymptomatic cases. Furthermore, when infection occurs, major resection such as lobectomy may be necessary rather than segmentectomy or wedge resection, which involves removal of minimal pulmonary parenchyma.

“…Bilateral pulmonary sequestration is rare and the presence of a bridging isthmus between bilateral pulmonary sequestrations is extremely rare. Bilateral pulmonary sequestration is similar to “horseshoe lung,” which is a rare congenital malformation in which an isthmus of pulmonary parenchyma extends from the right lung base across the midline behind the heart and fuses with the base of the left lung.…”

Successful endovascular treatment of bilateral intralobar pulmonary sequestration with a bridging isthmus in a child

Pulmonary sequestration refers to aberrant formation of segmental lung tissue that has no connection with the bronchial tree and receives a blood supply from a systemic artery. Bilateral pulmonary sequestration, especially with a bridging isthmus is extremely rare. Although endovascular treatment is regarded as the less invasive alternative for the treatment of pulmonary sequestration, all previously reported bilateral pulmonary sequestrations have been treated surgically. We report the case of a 13-year-old girl who underwent successful endovascular treatment for bilateral pulmonary sequestration with a bridging isthmus. Thoracic CT angiography showed a heterogeneous mass-like consolidation in the both lower lobes connected each other via a bridging isthmus behind the heart. CT also demonstrated an aberrant artery, which originated from the celiac trunk, supplied the sequestration of the left lower lobe, and that a branch from the aberrant artery traversed to the sequestration in the right lower lobe. After percutaneous endovascular embolization using microcoils and gelfoam, the patient had no complications and the bilateral sequestration showed markedly decrease in the size.
