Abstract

Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital disorder where a portion of the pulmonary parenchyma has no communication with the tracheobronchial tree and receives the blood supply from a systemic artery. Bilateral sequestration is very rare, and a bridging isthmus is extremely rare. We report here a case of bilateral sequestration with a bridging isthmus in a 54-year-old female patient.
