ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Pulmonary sequestration is not common and it's diagnosis needs special care such as an aortogram ar tomography. MATERIAL ANDMETHOD:
We have experienced 13 patients who had pulmonary sequestration from January 1990 to September 1997.RESULT:
Six men and seven women were treated and their mean age was 25.8+/-14.3 years. Their chief complaints were coughing, chest pain, and no symptoms in decreasing order. There were nine intralobar (ILS) and three extralobar (ELS) pulmonary sequestrations and one patient had both. There was no preference in location of either left or right. They were mainly diagnosed by aortography and their feeding arteries commonly originated from the lower thoracic aorta. The patients with ILS were treated by lobectomy and those with ELS by sequestrectomy.CONCLUSION:
to treat pulmonary sequestration properhy, aortogram or chest CT is warranted to iidenty the abnormal origin of feeding artery.
