“…In the past, DSA was the gold standard for diagnosis of PS, but given the high specificity and sensitivity of non-invasive modalities such as CTA and MRA, DSA has been supplanted and is rarely used in this application. [14–18]…”

Pulmonary sequestrations (PS) are typically supplied by a vessel originating from thoracic aorta, or abdominal aorta. Differences in imaging features between these PS subtypes have not been described. To analyze the imaging features of PS with arterial supply from the thoracic and abdominal aorta. Retrospectively, 23 pathologically proven cases of pulmonary sequestration were analyzed and compared based on the site of feeding artery origin. In 21 cases (21/23), the PS was soft tissue density. 1 (1/23) PS was purely cystic and another heterogeneous with both cystic and solid components (1/23). In 16/23 cases, the feeding vessel(s) arose from the thoracic aorta (male:female ratio 1:7) and in 7/23 cases from the abdominal aorta (male:female ratio 4:3). Feeding vessels from the thoracic aorta were duplicated in 7/16 cases. PS location ( P <.05) and size ( P <.001) differed based on the origin of the feeding vessel (thoracic aorta: 14/16 left lower lobe, mean volume 962.97 mL; abdominal aorta: 3/7 left lower lobe, mean volume 1120.89 mL). The feeding arteries themselves differed in size depending on their site of origin (thoracic aorta: mean diameter 7.0mm ± 2.7 mm, mean length 44.6mm ± 10.9 mm; abdominal aorta: mean diameter 3.3mm ± 0.6 mm, mean length 103.6mm ± 34.5 mm). PS size and distribution differ depending upon the site of feeding vessel origin as does the size of the feeding vessel itself.

“…Similar to CT chest without IV contrast, CT chest with IV contrast can be used to diagnose anatomical abnormalities in the immunocompetent patient that could predispose children to recurrent localized infections like congenital lobar overinflation [54], foreign bodies that could cause recurrent postobstructive pneumonia [13], and underlying pulmonary disease like bronchopulmonary dysplasia [52]. CT chest with IV contrast provides benefit over CT chest without IV contrast for diagnosing conditions such as bronchial tumors, congenital pulmonary airway malformation [54][55][56][57][58], pulmonary sequestration [21,54,55,[59][60][61][62][63], and bronchopulmonary foregut malformations [54,55].…”

“…CTA Chest. CTA chest with IV contrast is especially helpful for presurgical planning, identifying feeding and draining vessels in patients with suspected pulmonary sequestration, and assessing for a vascular ring that may lead to tracheal narrowing [59,63]. In most cases, CTA of the chest with IV contrast is preferred over CT chest with IV contrast.…”

Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation of the pulmonary system. This nonfunctioning cystic or solid mass is asymptomatic unless infected. Patients primarily present with pulmonary symptoms such as cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, chest pain, and fever due to recurrent pulmonary infections. We report herein the case of a young woman who presented with recurrent left upper abdominal pain and was diagnosed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography as intralobar pulmonary sequestration.
