Abstract
Pulmonary sequestrations are uncommon congenital malformations of the lung. Vascular supply to pulmonary sequestrations is variable, with many unusual combinations. Adequate preoperative evaluation is hence advisable to avoid intraoperative complications. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows accurate diagnosis of extralobar pulmonary sequestration (ELPS), including definition of vascular supply. This may obviate the need for more invasive investigations that were suggested in the past. Presented here is a case of ELPS with its vascular attachments to the intercostal vessels.
