“…On the other hand, IL type is considered to be a result of development of the systemic artery as a result of pulmonary infection. 10 There was also a report that genetically, homeobox gone Hoxb-5 would contribute to the outbreak. 9 EL type of BPS is often asymptomatic and sometimes incidental when it is young.…”

Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is a rare congenital anomaly of airway in which a portion of the lung receives blood supply from an abnormal systemic artery. A 72-year-old woman had been suffering from recurrent left lower back pain and pneumonia for more than 10 years. She was diagnosed with intralobar type of BPS by computed- tomography angiogram and underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy. BPS is a rare congenital abnormality that can accompany repeated pulmonary infection. Although asymptomatic patients may consider lifelong observation, surgical treatment of patients with symptoms is a curative option with minimal morbidity. To improve quality of the life for patients, active surgical treatment should be considered.

“…The term “pulmonary sequestration,” also known as bronchopulmonary sequestration, was first introduced by Pryce in 1946 [ 4 ]. Based on the positioning of the abnormal segmental lung tissue relative to the pleura, pulmonary sequestration can be categorized into two distinct types: intralobar and extralobar [ 5 ]. In adults, intralobar sequestration is often incidentally discovered, as it frequently remains asymptomatic.…”

“…Pulmonary sequestration (PS) accounts for 0.15-6.4% of pulmonary malformations, and it is a considered as one of the surgically correctable causes of respiratory distress in neonates [1]. It represents non-functioning parenchyma mass covered by visceral pleura and supplied by anomalous systemic arteries [2].…”

Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital lung malformation presented as non-functioning lung mass, abnormally supplied by an aberrant systemic artery. The diagnosis of PS requires a high index of clinical suspicion. Patients may be asymptomatic or have wide range of clinical manifestations including recurrent pneumonia, hemoptysis, chest pain and respiratory distress. The gold standard diagnostic tool of PS is CT angiography (CTA). The treatment includes open surgical resection, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), and endovascular embolization. This mini-review highlights the literature for the contemporary methods of diagnosis and treatment of PS.
