  • Title: [Lung sequestration; a rare congenital lung disorder].
    Author: de Jong-de Vos van Steenwijk CC, van Vught AJ, Cats BP.
    Journal: Tijdschr Kindergeneeskd; 1983 Aug; 51(4):123-9. PubMed ID: 6670086.
    Abstract:
    Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation. It is characterized by an abnormal arterial supply and venous drainage and a part of the lung which is not taking part in ventilation. Asymptomatic cases have been reported, but 37% of intralobar and 60% of extralobar sequesters became symptomatic before the age of ten years and need to be removed surgically. In this article one case-report illustrates the clinical course described in most cases whilst the other describes a patient in which the course mimicked an 'untreatable' bronchiolitis.
