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