Abstract

Pulmonary Sequestration is a rare congenital malformation during embryouic development which results in a cystic mass of nonfunctioning lung tissue. A diagnosis of a pulmonary sequestration has traditionally relied upon identifying the pathological arterial vessels by arteriography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. We reported a case of pulmonary sequestration diagnosed by Doppler sonography and subsequent CT angiography. A 21-year-old-woman admitted to hospital for an investigation of recurrent pneumonia with left lower chest pain. A doppler ultrasound sonography showed an aberrant blood supply from the descending thoracic aorta to the left lower chest lesion. The pulmonary sequestration was confirmed by the subsequent CT angiograph.

저자들은 반복적인 폐렴의 병력을 가지고 있는 여성에서 도플러초음파를 이용하여 하행복부대동맥으로부터 분리폐로 체동맥의 주행을 확인하여 폐분리증을 진단하고 이를 수술로 확인하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
