Abstract

Pulmonary sequestration , defined as loss of connection of the lung tissue with bronchial tree and withpulmonary artery receiving its artery supply from the systemic artery, is very rare cngenital pulmonary disease.It presents as two types, intralobular or extralobular differentiated by its location. 6 cases of pulmonarysequestrations hve been diagnosed in Seoul National University Hospital. 5 cases were confirmed pathologicallyafter lobectomy. 1 case was diagnosed with cardiac cineangiogram only. The results are as follows; 1. 4 cases hadclinical histories of pulmonary sepsis. 2 cases had cardiac problems without suspicion of the lung problem. 2. 4cases are male and 2 cases are female. 3. Ages of the patients are distributed from 2 months of age to 15 years ofage. 4. 4 cases are angiographically confirmed preoperatively. 2 cases had no suspicion of pulmonary sequestrationpreoperatively. 5. 3 cases are associated wtih cardiovascular anomalies such as right sided aortic arch, pulmonarystenosis, complicated heart disease. 6. 5 cases- operatively proven-have intralobar types with cystic change. 7.CT was performed in one case who shows left lower lobe area mass with air bronchogram.
