A Case Of Intrapulmonary Sequestration Seeming As An Intrathoracic Mass

Abstract

As a rare congenital thoracic malformation, pulmonary sequestration is composed of nonfunctioning primitive lung tissue. It has anomalous systemic supply rather than the pulmonary circulation and no connection with the tracheobronchial tree. It may present as respiratory infection or asymptomatic mass on chest imaging studies. Surgical removal is the treatment of choice. This paper presents a case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration that presented during childhood.

İntratorasik Kitle Görüntüsü Veren İntrapulmoner Sekestrasyon olgusu

Abstract

Nadir bir konjenital toraks malformasyonu olan pulmoner sekestrasyon, işlevsiz pirimitif akciğer dokusudur. Pulmoner dolaşımdan farklı sistemik dolaşımdan beslenmesi olup trakeobronşial sistemle ilişkisi yoktur. Solunum enfeksiyonları olarak görülebilir veya radyolojik çalışmalarında asemptomatik kitle olarak rastlanabilir. Tedavisi cerrahi rezeksiyondur. Bu yazıda çocukluk döneminde görülen intra lober pulmoner sekestrasyon OLGUSUNU SUNUYORUZ.
