Abstract
Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation. It represents 0.15-6.4% of all congenital pulmonary malformations. It is characterized by non-functional, dysplastic mass of lung tissue that is not in communication with the normal tracheobronchial tree and is associated with a systemic arterial supply. We report a young gentleman in his mid-thirties who presented with community-acquired pneumonia from an infected intralobar pulmonary sequestration which subsequently developed a hemothorax from an anomalous bronchial artery bleed.
