Abstract
-
Pulmonary sequestration is a relatively rare congenital anomaly in which a mass of abnormal pulmonary tissue without a normal connection to the tracheobronchial tree receives its blood supply from one or more anomalous systemic arteries. Its incidence increased as prenatal ultrasound become a routine component of prenatal care. We report one case of intra-abdominal extralobar pulmonary sequestration detected by prenatal ultrasound and diagnosed at surgery after birth.
