Abstract

Introduction: pulmonary sequestration is an unusual malformation consisting of isolated nonfunctioning lung segments lacking communication with functional tracheobronchial trees, with blood fow through the systemic circulation. Case report: we present the case of a woman with recurrent pulmonary infections in the left lower lobe. Because multiple infections in the same place, and with the suspicion of pulmonary sequestration, we perform a pulmonary angio tomography where aberrant artery that comes from the thoracic aorta is observed, confrming the diagnosis; which was then surgically resolved. Conclusion: pulmonary sequestration is a rare disease with highest incidence in childhood, but some variants may be present in adults and symptoms of recurrent pulmonary infections should make us suspicious of the disease.
