Abstract

Bronchopulmonary sequestration is an area of lung parenchyma that is devoid of normal connection to the trachebronchial tree. Arterial supply is from an aberrant systemic artery, usually a branch of the aorta. There are two broad types of bronchopulmonary sequestration: intralobar and extralobar. The former shares a common pleura with the lung while the latter is separated by its own pleura. Definitive therapy requires pulmonary resection.

[Case report of scimitar syndrome in infancy: intracardiac repair after coil embolization of systemic arterial supply to sequestered lung].

A 10-month-old girl was diagnosed with atrial septal defect and pulmonary sequestration and scimitar syndrome. Cardiac catheterization revealed severe pulmonary hypertension, with systemic pulmonary artery pressure 97 mmHg, pulmonary resistance 10.3 U, and Qp/Qs 0.45. Systemic pulmonary artery pressure was decreased from 108 to 75 mmHg by oxygenation. We performed coil embolization of the systemic artery and repair of the partial anomalous pulmonary venous return, division and reimplantation of the anomalous vein into the right atrium, and a patch was inserted to redirect flow to the left atrium. The severe pulmonary hypertension was improved and echocardiography showed systemic pulmonary artery pressure of 45 mmHg. The postoperative hemodynamic and respiratory condition was satisfactory.

Intralobar bronchopulmonary sequestration evaluated by contrast-enhanced three-dimensional MR angiography.

Bronchopulmonary sequestration (PS) is characterized by non-functioning lung tissue fed from one or several aberrant systemic arteries. The condition is diagnosed by visualizing the feeding arteries using non-invasive CT, MRI, colour Doppler sonography or conventional angiography. We present a 5-year-old boy in whom intralobar sequestration was diagnosed using contrast-enhanced 3D MR angiography, which visualised fine blood vessels in the thoraco-abdominal region without arterial puncture. This technique is useful for diagnosing PS.
