    Abstract:
    Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital malformation. Right intra lobar PS with a feeding artery arising from the abdominal aorta is extremely rare. This case report describes a 30-year-old man with a history of mental deficiency and repeated pneumonia who was referred to our hospital for further work-up of PS. Three-dimensional enhanced computed tomography of the chest and aorta revealed right intra lobar PS with an aberrant systemic artery from the abdominal aorta. We resected the PS using lower lobectomy by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). The patient was discharged 10 days later without complications.
