Pulmonary sequestration/Accessory lung
Aberrant formation of segmental lung tissue that has no connection with the bronchial tree or pulmonary arteries. It is a bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (BPFM).
Anomalous arterial supply of accessory lung
Thoracic aorta (MC); abdominal aorta (inferior pulmonary ligament)
Venous drainage of accessory lung (based on extra/intra-lobar)
Systemic venous (extra-lobar) or pulmonary venous drainage (intra-lobar)
Pulmonary sequestration most often presents with…
Infection; can also p/w respiratory compromise or abnormal CXR
Treatment of pulmonary sequestration
Ligate arterial supply (risk of severe hemorrhage); then lobectomy
