Abstract
Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital anomaly of lung parenchyma tha t can be definitively treated only with surgical resection. We report a case of an intralobar sequestration of the right lower pulmonary lob e in an infant successfully treated with video-thoracoscopic surgical removal of the involved lobe at 6 months of age.
