[Pulmonary sequestration in an infant].

A case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration in an infant is reported. The lesion presented as recurrent bronchopulmonary infections. The chest film showed a density in the right lower lobe, in which air-filled images and air-fluid levels developed rapidly. Aortography demonstrated systemic blood supply to the lesion from three arteries stemming from the thoracic aorta. The pathological study of the operative specimen confirmed the diagnosis. Postoperative outcome was satisfactory.
