RESUMO
Paciente do sexo masculino, com 51 anos de idade, com história de pneumonias de repetição desde a segunda década de vida. As radiografias de tórax curiosamente demonstravam omesmo padrão radiológico com envolvimento do lobo inferioresquerdo. Foi realizada tomografia helicoidal de tórax, que revelouvaso arterial anômalo emergindo da aorta torácica descendente em direção ao lobo pulmonar inferior esquerdo,caracterizando sequestro pulmonar. Os achados foram confirmados por aortografia torácica, sendo o paciente encaminhado para tratamento cirúrgico.
ABSTRACT
A 51-year-old male patient had a history of recurrent pneumonia since the second decade of life. Interestingly enough, chest X-rays showed the same radiological pattern with involvement of the left lower lobe. A multislice spiral CT scan of the chest was performed and depicted an anomalous arterial vessel emerging from the descending thoracic aorta towards the left lower pulmonary lobe, characterizing pulmonary sequestration. The findings were confirmed by thoracic aortography, and the patient was referred for surgical treatment.
