Abstract
Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation whereby abnormal lung tissue forms that do not communicate with the tracheobronchial tree. Pulmonary sequestration receives its blood supply via single or multiple vessels, typically arising from the systemic circulation. Symptoms can include a chronic or recurrent cough, respiratory distress, hemoptysis, or pneumonia. Management typically involves treatment of symptoms, sometimes requiring surgery. This case reviews the clinical presentation, work-up, and management of pulmonary sequestration presenting in an adult patient.
